Newcastle Race 8 - Branch Management Provincial (Bm68)
BRAVE CALL (2) lit up the track first up from a mile back to just miss. Potential packed import with strong credentials in slightly tougher. RUSH ATTACK (1) is a proven miler on fresh legs after two months off. Nice trial of late though and a kind draw sets him up to challenge strongly. SCHOLL DEEP (8) has a consistent overall record and her last two runs have been sweet science. Three kilos less for an in-form mare reads well. SONOFDEC (3) gets up to a more suitable trip third up and won't mind a damp track. Capable of a better result here.
