Newcastle Race 6 - Soho Lanikai Standing At Medowie Lodge 3yo Pace

THIS IS HEAVEN (8) enjoyed the class drop off the Vicbred Super Series when he scored at his most recent outing by 5.6 metres at Bathurst. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he has the pace to go forward and has recorded two wins and two placings in four tries at this circuit and distance so could strike again. CAPTAINS DELIGHT (7) hit her peak when third-up last week, coming from a back row draw and working before digging deep to score at Penrith. Draws wide but with even luck she could make it two on the bounce. RUMOUR STRIDE (4) continued her consistent form when third at this circuit and distance last week. Can be competitive again. RALLY AROUND (6) was runner-up from the back row last time and won two of his previous three outings so must be respected.
