Newcastle Race 4 - Garrards Horse And Hound 3yo Pace
TOWERING FORTUNE (7) made an immediate impact on debut last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Finds a nice race and will be a major force once more. MY MCLAREN (8) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.2 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. ARTISTIC GALAXY (6) finished ninth last start over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. This looks a suitable race and a top-three finish looks on the cards. ULTIMATE MARTHA (9) is at the track for the first time. By Ultimate Sniper and hails from the Ross Adams stable. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Was not far away in a recent trial. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to her career.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Sierra Mist (1:56.50) in 3yo on July 13 at $23. Before that, 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Sunlight Stride (1:57.00) on June 29 at $19. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Sunlight Stride at this track over 1609m on June 29 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Sierra Mist at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on July 13 at $1.75. Among the top chances on recent form.
