Newcastle Race 8 - Somerset Meats Pace

WALTER WARLOCK (5) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and had been racing well with a string of seconds prior, including in the Regional Championship final here. Looks nicely placed and his strike rate at this circuit and distance is strong. ILLAWONG DANNY (4) hasn't quite been in the same form he was when putting together a string of wins earlier in his campaign but there was merit in his latest effort for third from the back row at Tamworth. Loves this circuit and distance with four wins and two placing from six attempts. MR TEDDY NZ (7) put the writing on the wall with a city placing before coming from this barrier for a last-start win by a neck at Bathurst. Has a win and a placing in two tries at this circuit and distance so could strike again. HEZA PLAYER NZ (2) is up in grade but is aided by a low draw having come from wider in a last-start win by 2.7 metres at Tamworth.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Joans Rising Star at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on January 24 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Ashleys Blue Chip at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR 61 to 70 on February 5 at $4.20. Measures right up with his best.

The start before 9th (Sr4) over 2422m at Maitland beaten 50 m by Loyal Lou (2:57.70) in 3yo+ LR 5 WINs on December 27 at $23. Finds a winnable assignment.

Nine-year-old mare showed improvement last start. Won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Tamworth (2:29.00) beating Jayjaybenny in NR 61 to 70 on February 5 at $2.30 at the bell was leading 1.33. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Saint Crusader at this track over 1609m in a No NR on January 28 at $126. Tougher from this wide draw.
