Newcastle Race 6 - Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
MAGNETIC STORM (5) continued his strong form when he led and fought well to finish a head from the winner in second at Menangle at the latest appearance. Came from similar barriers to this to win his previous two outings at this circuit and distance so should relish the return to this venue. MISS BLUE STORK (7) has also been racing in form, making it four wins from her last five starts when overcoming a back row draw at her latest appearance at Penrith, getting home by 5.5 metres. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but her form is hard to knock. DUTY OF CARE (10) must be considered after he came from this barrier and did some work but stuck on for a 2m third here a week ago. WATTLEBANK ARNIE NZ (6) has switched yards since a fourth at Shepparton last time out. Keep safe.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Whataboyjack at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 62 on May 8 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Kasbah at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 61 on May 15 at $6. Could be building to another win.
