Armed with a stack of runners, trainer Kris Lees is "quietly confident" of clinching a winner or two on home turf tomorrow.

Lees has nine acceptors at the second last local meeting of the 2013-14 racing season as he makes a late surge to clinch another Newcastle premiership.

With 16 wins, Lees trails front-runner Paul Perry (18) by two.

His Broadmeadow representatives are:

RACE 2: Sabuie (Blake Spriggs) and Marple Miss (Andrew Gibbons);

RACE 5: Long Lasting (Andrew Gibbons) and Adelie (Paul Hammersley);

RACE 8: Quietly Confident (Andrew Gibbons).

Lightly-raced Quietly Confident is lining up for a hat-trick in the Class 2 Handicap (1400m), and his trainer has given him plenty of time to get over his successful resumption at Broadmeadow on June 14.

The four-year-old wore down Hackman - a subsequent winner at Cessnock on Jungle Juice Cup day (July 1) - in a Class 1 Handicap (1200m); his first start since winning on debut at Cessnock last August.

"I'm expecting him to run well again."

Lees withdrew Adelie from a tough midweek race at Canterbury to focus on tomorrow's Benchmark 60 Handicap (900m).

"There's no way she would have beaten Deep Field (boom horse who has now won both starts by a total of 14.5 lengths) at Canterbury," Lees said.

"This is definitely more suitable."

Adelie, a three-year-old Red Ransom filly, won her first two starts at Scone in December and January and was spelled after finishing sixth to Engagement over 1250m at Canterbury in early February.

She has had three trials to prepare for tomorrow's resumption.

Long Lasting also resumes in Adelie's race, having not appeared since his fourth in a Class 2 Plate (1506m) at Port Macquarie on April 12.

Apprentice Jennings' 3kg claim brings topweight Artibai in with 57kg in the Class 1 Handicap (1600m).

Artibai has had only two Australian starts, and his trainer was pleased with his first-up fifth to Moral Victory in a Class 2 Handicap (1500m) at home on June 21.

"He comes out of a good form race and I'm sure he will run well tomorrow," Lees said.

"But in saying that he is going to get better as his distances get longer."

Lees said Welsh Rose - out of luck at her last two starts - should have finished second rather than fourth at Cessnock on July 1, and has the advantage of a good draw.

Power Supply and Prime Shadow both have chances in the Class 1 Handicap (1200m).

Power Supply has been runner-up at his last two starts at Hawkesbury and Broadmeadow and deserves a breakthrough. Prime Shadow hasn't been far away at three starts since beating her own sex in a 1300m Maiden at home in late April.

Marple Miss, a two-year-old, is an interesting runner in the 1400m Maiden Handicap against older horses.

A three-quarter sister to Cox Plate winner Shamus Award, she can improve on her debut seventh to Kanguru in a Wyong 2YO Maiden (1200m) on June 26.

Stablemate Sabuie, who finished last on debut at Taree in January, is resuming and her trainer says she needs further.
