Newcastle Race 2 - Bonvilla Estate Wines Pace
YOU ARE MY WISH (4) tailed-off last start at this track but had a legitimate excuse. Ready to atone for that result in this suitable race. Has the ability to take this out. GOLDNGLITZ (1) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a seventh at this track on October 24. Expect him to be prominent. NEVER KNOW SPARKY (2) was beaten 12 metres on debut last start over 1609m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement. DEPASSANT (8) ended last prep with a eighth at Goulburn over 1710m nine weeks ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.
