Newcastle Race 6 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
TRIED AND TRUSTED (2) finished second last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Menangle over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. WHENS LUNCH (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 21 metres into seventh at this track over 2030m. Primary contender from this favourable draw if anywhere near her best. SPECTA (9) is better than his last-start for tenth over 1609m at Menangle would suggest. Each-way chance. BRING YOUR BEST (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Tamworth last time out.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Peligroso at this track over 2030m on September 18 at $26. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-4.2 beaten 4 m by My Ultimate Cobber (1:55.00) on September 14 at $9.50. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Goodtime Miki at Goulburn over 1710m on September 28 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Tiger Eupheme at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ on October 6 at $12. Progressing well. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 35 m by Stripes (1:50.40) in 3yo on September 29 at $10. At her previous start game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 8th-20.2 beaten 4.5 m by Agatha Bloom (1:52.30) in 3yo on September 15 at $81. Rates highly and from a much better draw can bounce back.

Last start was well beaten into tenth behind Tiger Eupheme at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ on October 6 at $8. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle was 6th-11.48 at the bell, beaten 1.3 m by Jetasi (1:53.50) in 3yo+ on September 29 at $8.50. Better run anticipated this time.
