Newcastle Race 1 - Mitavite - Leaving Nothing To Chance Waratah Heat
ERROL FIN (2) showed good improvement second-up when he travelled up on the speed and boxed on well as runner-up last start, beaten 2.6 metres at this circuit and distance. Gets his best draw of the campaign so far and has won when third-up before so should be close to his peak. VINTAGE EDITION (11) raced parked and stuck on for third at this circuit and distance last time, beaten less than 4 metres, and came from a wide barrier to win the previous time he raced here. Leading hope if things go his way from the second line. UPSTREAM (1) gets the ace draw and is looming as a threat after a string of good efforts from wider barriers including a win at this circuit and distance three back. WALTER WARLOCK (6) is better placed after tackling a Breeders Challenge semi-final at Menangle six days ago.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Krusty Krunch at this track over 1609m on October 7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Rocknroll Clarry at this track over 1609m on October 23 at $8.50. Gets the ace draw so can retain the good form.
