350 Newcastle-Platinum hasnt raced over hurdles since 2011 but a recent 2nd on the flat hopefully shows the ability is still there.If it is then it looks well handicapped on my ratings and after only 3 starts over hurdles,it is still very unexposed.

ImJoeking is probably the main danger but all its form is on softer ground.

Back Platinum 8pts at 7.0 at Paddys/Boyles(Accept 6.0)-2nd(-8pts)Called the market correct again and hopefully they will begin to start winning again.This horse ran well and was given a decent ride but just couldnt quite reel in the winner despite looking a massive danger 2 out.Hit 2.12 in running.
