Newcastle Race 9 - Kirkwoods Produce Pace
CHLOBRO (6) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can go one better without surprising. BLACKMIRRA (9) won at Tamworth two runs ago before finishing fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets a similar line up and she can make amends. HEAVENLY TURBO (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at Tamworth last time out. EYES BEEN PATIENT (10) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 1609m.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 9th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle was 3rd-3.17 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Cornelius (1:56.70) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $8.50. At the run before 9th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle beaten 35 m by Wills Way (1:54.00) in 3yo+ on July 28 at $21. One to consider as her best is good enough.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Sweetly Spoken at this track over 1609m on July 27 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Louigi at this track over 1609m on August 7 at $3.30. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.
