Newcastle Race 3 - Raging Bull Standing At Artistic Lodge Pace
SWEET ROCKY (3) could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tamworth, failing to live up to market expectations. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. BOLERO (6) worked to find the lead but couldn't keep going and finished a close fourth last start over 1730m at Bathurst. Primary contender if things go her way. CAULONIA COURAGE (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Menangle a week-and-a-half ago. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 10th-26.36 beaten 9 m by Ya Racin Arlo (1:52.90) on July 21 at $34. Two runs back 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th-14.09 beaten a nose by Nitro Danny (1:55.40) on July 13 at $9. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
