Newcastle Race 9 - Kirkwood Produce Pace
NO NOTTHEBUTTONS (9) has had two months off since he was beaten as favourite last start but was kept up to the mark with a nice trial. Good effort to place from a wider barrier two back at Menangle. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps could be tough to hold out. KANENA PROVLIMA (11) was solid when fifth last start at Menangle and placed there three back. Tricky draw but is suited returning to a circuit where he owns a good record and his best form would win this. ANGUS FINN NZ (2) is first up for seven months but showed some good form last time in. Proven fresh and won his lone try at this circuit and distance. Readied with two trials, winning the latest and draws well so is capable of a forward showing. RIVERA LOU (6) is having his first run back from a spell of 11 weeks. Boasts a record of three wins and a placing from four fresh attempts and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance so expecting a bright start to the campaign.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 8 run. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr1) at Penrith (2:04.30) beating Kairaki Delight in on October 29 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 3.18. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to go to another level.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Wicked Wizard at Menangle over 1609m on October 3 at $51. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Jayjaybenny at Tamworth over 1980m on October 8 at $2.50. Can be thereabouts.

First up. At the last run he was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle was 9th-16.01 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Nugget Rogers (1:52.60) on August 22 at $2.60. Goes very well fresh so look for a strong return.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr4) over 2030m at this track was 4th-10 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Major Bye (2:26.10) on October 30 at $21. Before that 7th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track was 9th-19.29 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Ohoka Cobra (1:53.40) on October 16 at $51. Needs to find his best.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Quiet Storm at Menangle over 2300m on September 5 at $2.60. Raced better the start before that when then did a good job to finish in the money over 1609m at Menangle last time out. Has winning claims.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr6) over 2300m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-12.95 beaten 12 m by Huxton (2:41.70) on October 17 at $11. The run before 9th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 60 m by Dangerous (1:48.50) on October 10 at $41. Worth another chance. His best form would measure right up.
