Newcastle Race 7 - Barastoc Pace
RESERVE BANK NZ (5) looks close to a win after placing in two of her past three outings at this circuit and distance, both in higher-graded races. This doesn't look as hard so she gets her chance. UPSTREAM (7) draws wider than when a beaten favourite last week but she had put together a series of top-four results here prior so is worth another chance. MEDIA MOGUL (9) draws for a trail and must be considered after recording a win and a second in his last two outings at this circuit and distance. WOOPAA (1) is still a maiden but showed improvement when fourth from this barrier last time.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Double Lines (1:54.40) on September 25 at $15. Before that 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Ire Of The Dragon (1:54.50) on September 18 at $23. Form not inspiring.
