Not even a place from the two lackluster runners yesterday. The horse that won Lonaro's race Seven Dragons might have some promise at the provincials, giving the rest of the field a tidy beating by 3.5 lengths.

Today's runners for Newmarket day at Newcastle:

SAINTHOOD NCLE. r7 n10 NEWMARKET HCP. GG3. 53.0. LONHRO BONNE FAMILLE
Career:10-3-3-1 $126,580 Dist:2-1-0-0 Good:2-0-0-1 Dead:4-2-1-0 Slow:2-1-1-0 Heavy:2-0-1-0 1st-up:4-0-2-0 2nd-up:2-1-0-0 Won 1300 to 1600
Was a big winner at Canberra last start in a listed race beating the handy Bay Window. Steps up in class again today but improving type. Will be very interested to see how he runs.

TAHNEE TOPAZ SANL. r1 n7 ADELINA HCP (82). 53.0. LONHRO TAHNEE
Career:7-1-4-1 $58,120 Dist:3-1-2-0 Track:2-0-1-0 T/D:1-0-1-0 Good:2-1-0-1 Dead:5-0-4-0 1st-up:2-0-1-1 2nd-up:1-0-1-0 Won 1200
Hayes trained, seems to like a dry track with its only win over 1200m at Moonee Valley on a good surface. Has run 4 seconds on a dead track. Second up after a year spell.

DYSPHONIA SANL. r4 n9 HYDROGEN HCP (68). 53.0. LONHRO STUTTER
Career:6-1-1-1 $13,655 Track:1-0-0-0 Good:1-0-0-0 Dead:2-1-1-0 Slow:3-0-0-1 1st-up:3-0-1-1 2nd-up:1-1-0-0 Won 1400
Nice first up run, coming a close 2nd over 1200m. Last time in won 2nd up on a dead track over 1400m by 3 lengths. Is running over 1300m today.

MARTINDALE HALL SANL. r8 n2 DESIRABLE HCP (72). 53.0. LONHRO ROMANTIC FLYER
Career:7-3-0-1 $53,247 Dist:3-2-0-1 Track:1-0-0-0 Good:1-0-0-0 Dead:4-2-0-1 Slow:2-1-0-0 1st-up:2-1-0-0 2nd-up:1-1-0-0 Won 975 to 1230
Consistent performer winning 3 out of 7 runs so far. Seems to like a bit of sting out of the ground with all wins on dead or slow. 2nd up today, it's 1st up run was average running a 7 length 4th over 1000m though on a good track. Comments were Lobbed behind line of 3 leaders, off heels turning in, handy enough 5th top strt, out-sprinted, head to side, battled on.
Might pay to forgive?
