AU - Beaumont (Newcastle) - Race 7

MISSILE MAGNATE (2) earns top billing after resuming with a determined Class 2 win at Muswellbrook, beating La Potenza by just over half a length when near the top of an open market. He comes into a tougher race today, but he has already won around this trip and the second-up profile gives him the right platform. JADE TREES (1) is the obvious danger with three wins from four starts this time in work, the latest offering a Class 3 win at Grafton on soft ground. Grady Spokes has won four from seven aboard and he is key to the five-year-old's prospects. SIPPING SHAMUS (9) has been competing in Saturday company at Rosehill and is much better suited back from that level, with his record at the distance a strong pointer. Expecting a lot more today. BOLD AND BLAZEN (4) has to rebound from a plain sixth at Illawarra Grange, but his Kembla second two back gives him a genuine each-way shout. Veteran mare CHESTIME (3) doesn't know how to run a bad race. Should be thereabouts again.
