Newcastle Race 4 - Raging Bull Standing At Artistic Lodge Pace
HALF HOLIDAY (2) led and faded to midfield when tackling a higher-graded race last start. Had won his other two starts of this campaign, both coming at this circuit and distance. He has the speed to take advantage of a low draw and will enjoy the class drop. KAIRAKI DELIGHT NZ (1) ended last prep with a sixth at Menangle 11 weeks ago but is a two-time fresh winner who has been readied with a trial. Aided by the ace draw so is capable of a strong return. PENURIOUS (3) is hard to knock having come from this barrier to win his last two outings, one at this circuit and distance and the other at Menangle. Up in grade but could register the hat-trick. VINCENTIUS MAXIMUS (4) has been solid from wider barriers in his two starts off a spell and should be close to peak fitness.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Charlies Ace at Menangle over 1609m on June 30 at $5. Draws for a good return.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 13 m by Action Major (1:52.60) on September 4 at $18. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:54.00) beating Major Austin in on August 21 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 4.52. A good draw could see him back in the winners' list.

Six-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Menangle and this track both over 1609m. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 m (Fr3) at Menangle (1:54.30) beating Alabama Lioness in 4yo+ on September 5 at $4.33 at the bell was 2nd-1.69. Draws well so is a top chance again.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 14 m by Action Major (1:52.60) on September 4 at $7.50. Like to race on the pace, but won't get a run from his wide draw. Can bounce back.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Happy Too Ya (1:52.70) on September 4 at $19. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2030m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 24 m by Rudy Gee (2:24.70) on August 28 at $11. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

Solid performance when a close second after showing early speed, behind Manhatten Chick at this track over 1609m on September 4 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind The Cid at this track over 1609m on September 11 at $51. Could be in the finish again.
