Newcastle Race 5 - Raging Bull Standing At Artistic Lodge Pace

LUX AETERNA (9) is a genuine black-type performer who was too good last start, saluting at Listed level over 1609m at Menangle by 11 metres. Sure to prove hard to beat back at this level. Grand horse cut from higher cloth than this class. Likely to be short odds and well fancied. Danger can be APPLIED NZ (4) who has not raced for nine weeks. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial and he is 1/1 when resuming. LITTLE DEMON (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at this track over 1609m. SURFERS DELIGHT NZ (6) disappointed last time when tenth over 2300m at Menangle. Can do a lot better and fancy he is one well worth considering.

Resuming after nine weeks off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Wamboyneinamerica at this track over 1609m on June 19 at $51. Previous preparation first-up won by a head as favourite (Sr2) at Penrith (2:39.10) beating Mister Brillante in on May 2 2024 at $3. Best efforts should see him go well.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr10) over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 4.5 m by Quiet Storm (2:45.10) on August 15 at $31. Before that 5th (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-9.03 beaten 9 m by Erupt Stride (1:52.20) on August 1 at $8. This looks a far sterner test.
