Newcastle Race 7 - Somerset Meats Pace
TAFL MOVE (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Good enough to take out a race like this. ROCKSIE ROCK (3) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. LETSGETROWDY (10) comes right into contention after scoring last start by a head at this track over 1609m. CAPTAIN DORIAN (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at this track over 1609m.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Tamworth beaten 14 m by Im Belieber (1:58.60) on August 6 at $31. Before that 4th (Sr3) over 1980m at Tamworth, at the bell was 6th-8.86 beaten 7 m by Lookat Mee (2:29.70) on July 30 at $10. Cannot enthuse.

Solid performance when a close second behind Helens Boy at this track over 1609m on July 27 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Louigi at this track over 1609m on August 7 at $9. Going along well. Hard to beat.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 13 m by Letsgetrowdy (1:56.80) on August 10 at $23. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 25 m by Louigi (1:55.20) on July 13 at $11. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 1609m at Tamworth beaten 16 m by Barrys Rose (1:56.80) in M on August 6 at $13. Before that, 4th (Sr3) over 1609m after being wide early at Tamworth, at the bell was 2nd-1.92 beaten 11 m by Saint Karamara (1:57.20) in M on July 30 at $10. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Going well. Last start won by a head (Sr2) at this track (1:55.80) beating Heez Reasonable in on August 10 at $10. Draws better this time so with a bit of luck he can feature in the finish again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 2030m at this track beaten 15 m by Louise Luck (2:29.40) on July 31 at $11. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Tamworth (2:27.20) beating Jeremy Lou in on July 23 at $1.60 at the bell was 3rd-9.68.
