Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys 3yo Mdn Pace
BERMUDA (2) finished eighth last start, beaten 30 metres at Menangle over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a big race. CAPTAIN MIKI (5) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 19 metres away in third over 1609m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take it to the next level. MY MCLAREN (1) found one better two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished 25 metres back in fifth over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back. MANHATTEN MASTER (3) is ready to improve this prep after debuting with a modest tenth 11 months ago over 1609m at this track.
