Newcastle Race 8 - Tooheys Pace
ROCKIN BULL (8) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 1.75 metres away in second over 1609m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can continue the strong start to the campaign. UPSTREAM (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Has the class to find the winners' list. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. LIMOUSINE CHEEKY (10) disappointed last time when seventh over 2030m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2125m at Penrith, at the bell was 8th-8.79 beaten 10 m by Toolijooa Beach (2:37.20) in NR up to 52 on February 12 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-10.78 beaten 9 m by Grumpyshannon (1:57.90) in NR up to 53 on February 6 at $41. This will be too tough.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track, at the bell was 8th-14.4 beaten 18 m by Mister Poverty (2:26.60) in NR up to 52 on February 13 at $21. Before that 4th (Sr3) over 1609m at Tamworth, at the bell was 6th-10.61 beaten 6 m by Mack Pack (1:56.80) in NR up to 55 on February 5 at $101. This looks a far sterner test.

Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Chevron Flies at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 M on February 6 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Chevron Flies at this track over 1609m in a NR 46 to 54 on February 13 at $6. Sure to play a major role.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m second behind Mister Cheese at this track over 1609m NR 51 to 54 last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres second at Ballarat over 2200m in NR 50 to 55 on November 20. Worth following up.
