WILLIAM NEWTON VC HANDICAP
Results
DOUBLE CHERRY (3) comes through the strongest race here and looks well placed. He won well at Bm78 grade at Wyong two back and then ran very well for 3rd in the G2 Chairman's Stakes behind eventual Sydney Cup winner Circle Of Fire. Will be very hard to catch. ABERFELDIE BOY (1) has had two runs back from a spell, doing well to finish within a length in the G3 Easter Cup at Caulfield. Up in trip again here should suit and his best would go awfully close. GARACHICO (5) stepped up to this trip at Morphettville third-up and just found one better. Should be at peak fitness and can give this a shake. SAMUEL LANGHORNE (6) has won two in a row in easier grade. No reason he can't measure up. PRISMATIC (7) can improve.

Multiple Group 1 placegetter. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up from last on the turn 7th of 10 at Bairnsdale Bairnsdale Cup on March 24 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Starspangled Baby carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Second-up 4th of 11 at Caulfield in the G3 Easter Cup on April 6 over 2000m, slow going 0.7 len behind Captain Envious with 54kg at $51. Ideally placed here. Should run well.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up didn't finish the race at Warrnambool Hdle March 12 over 3200m. Second-up got back early 8th of 10 at Stawell Stawell Cup on March 31 over 2000m, 6 len behind Toogoodfortoorak with 60kg at $19. Hard to make a case today.
Group 2 placegetter. Going well. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 10 at Randwick in the G2 Chairmans on April 6 over 2600m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Circle Of Fire carrying 53kg at $12. The run before that came from midfield and won by a head at Wyong Bm78 March 20 over 2100m on a rain affected track defeating Nordic Pride carrying 58kg at $17. Brings the right form and should go close.
Most recently 4th of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm78 on April 1 over 3000m, 3.5 len behind Farag carrying 57.5kg at $11. The race before that 5th of 9 at Caulfield Bm78 on February 10 over 2400m, 3 len behind Wertheimer carrying 58kg at $26. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
Group 3 placegetter. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Morphettville Hcp on April 13 over 2500m, nose behind Perle Bleue carrying 56.5kg at $2.50. The run before that 9th of 12 at this track Grand Hcp Class on March 30 over 2000m, 5 len behind Sea What I See carrying 59.5kg at $21. Can give a bold sight.
Chasing a hat-trick. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a long-neck at Bendigo Bm78 April 13 over 2400m defeating Mi Rock Aly with 54.5kg at $8.50. The race before that won by a nose at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 April 1 over 2400m defeating Upwoods with 59kg at $2.50. More depth here but can figure.
Most recently 6th of 14 at Bendigo Bm78 on April 13 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Samuel Langhorne carrying 56.5kg at $15. The start before that 4th of 8 at Moonee Valley Bm84 on March 23 over 2040m, 4 len behind Magnaspin carrying 54kg at $12. Place hope.
At the latest run won by a nose at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 April 10 over 2100m on a rain affected track defeating Amphactor with 58kg at $9. The start before that 8th of 10 at Yarra Valley Bm64 on March 17 over 1968m, 6 len behind Fagin with 59kg at $21. Hard to have.
At the latest run won by a nose at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 April 10 over 2100m in soft going defeating Into You with 55kg at $6.50. The race before that 7th of 12 at Ballarat Bm64 on April 3 over 2000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Midnight Glow carrying 54kg at $26. Others offer greater appeal.
