Newcastle Race 7 - Truck And Fleet Maintenance Pace
LOUIGI (1) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. MERRYWOOD TONY (9) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1720m at Penrith. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ZEN MASTER (6) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can make amends. UPSTREAM (10) is worth some thought despite her last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on July 24.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Little Demon at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on July 17 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Some Chevron at this track over 1609m on July 24 at $3.90. Form on the quick turnaround is sound including a win and one minor placings from three tries.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Conciliate (1:52.20) in 3yo on July 21 at $34. At his previous start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Boulevardofdreams (1:52.40) on July 10 at $41. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
