Newcastle Race 4 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
LOCHINVAR JAG (3) is in a rich vein of form having made it four wins on the trot at the latest appearance, leading to score by 2.8 metres at Bathurst. Draws to go forward again so can add to the winning streak. LITTLE DEMON (1) could be building to a win having placed in two of his last three starts here, both times coming from this barrier. Chased a Group winner when third last week. Can make an impact again. PET KITTY (2) eases back in grade on the latest attempt and draws well so looking for a better result. ERROL FIN (4) resumes after four months but was readied with a nice trial so keep safe.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Jalaneel at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 28 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Kanena Provlima at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 80 on April 2 at $8. Player again from the ace draw.
