The Three Hundred, Saturday 16th November, Newcastle, Race 7:
The Three Hundred has had a terrific preparation thus far. He took out his maiden at Rosehill two runs back and followed that up in a 3YO Graduation Handicap last time, so he’s been going through his grades very satisfyingly. This Group 3 is another step forward that requires more from him, but it’s a race that’s restricted to his own age group which is a big positive and he’s stretching out to the mile after three runs at 1400 metres which is also a big tick in Gai and Adrian’s rule book. It’s a set weights contest so he has a tiny bit to find at the ratings with the two horses above him, but it’s only marginal and he’s extremely progressive so if he turns up on song it’ll take a good horse to beat him.
