Newcastle Race 1 - Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
RUMOUR STRIDE (1) has been racing well at this circuit and distance, winning last month and placing in both outings since. Each of those results was from a tougher barrier so she should get every chance from the ace draw. D J ROCK NZ (4) impressed when he came from a similar barrier to this and scored by 11 metres over this distance at Menangle last start. That effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. Tricky draw for YESNOMAYBESO (10) but he is looming as a threat after three straight placings at this circuit and distance, one of them from this barrier. GO AWAY AGAIN (5) will be fitter for a solid fifth when first-up at Menangle last time out. Can progress.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Boulevardofdreams at this track over 1609m on July 10 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Eye Can Ear Amour at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on July 17 at $16. Should get every chance from the ace draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track was 8th-17.87 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Pops Joy (2:27.70) on July 17 at $51. Before that, 8th (Fr5) over 1720m at Penrith was 4th-6.2 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Bara Riley (2:04.80) on July 9 at $31. Should be nearing peak fitness now and can play a role from a nice draw.
