Newcastle Race 8 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Best Sires Pace
TONYS DREAM (5) should be reaching peak fitness third-up. Kicked off her campaign with a second from this barrier at Penrith before a solid midfield effort in a handy line-up last time out. Won the only time she attempted this circuit and distance. Looks ready to win. GRACE SHANNON (10) continued her good form in her first outing for Darren Elder here last week, coming from this row for third. Recorded a Bathurst win and a Tamworth placing in her previous two outings. Major player. ROCKNROLL ROCKET (2) led and stuck on for third at Tamworth last week. Draws to be prominent again. TWO CRACKED CORN (6) draws wide but was beaten less than 4m in a higher-graded race last week at Tamworth.
