Newcastle Race 1 - Truck And Fleet Maintenance Pace
LOUISE LUCK (10) missed the placings two runs back then did a great job to score by a nose despite breaking in the run over 2030m at this track a week ago. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Big chance again in a similar assignment. GOOD LOOKING JUJON (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1780m at Redcliffe. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Big chance based on those recent efforts. BRING YOUR BEST (1) found form and finished third two runs ago then came back to earth when he broke following a check and finished a long last over 1609m at Tamworth. Has the benefit of a good draw this time. Live chance in a similar assignment. STEALTH BOMBA NZ (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2 metres at this track over 2030m.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Gotonebettor at Tamworth over 1609m on July 23 at $2.30. Raced better the start before that with a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 7th-11.77 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Ultimate Rhapsody (1:56.20) on July 17 at $11. Sure to be there at the business end.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at Tamworth was 8th-17.99 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Saint Karamara (1:57.20) in M on July 30 at $13. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle was 9th-17.99 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Melfield Soryt (1:54.50) in M on July 21 at $14. This looks a far sterner test.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Johemian at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 2-3yo+ on June 26 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Ynobe Nova at Redcliffe over 1780m on July 3 at $2.20. Will be right in the thick of things.
