Newcastle R6 Wolf Blass Pace

Race comment

Scored handily defeating Major Crisis 1.2m $3.00 (Fr8) Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R4960 race Jul 1 then battled on gamely defeating Rockn And Rolln 0.4m $1.90 (Fr3) Bathurst 1730m (1:57.1) R5866 race Jul 17. Unbeaten in three runs this prep and more still to come; drawn ideally and top chance in this.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 2.5m 3rd $11 (Fr10) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 1609m (1:56.5) R5263 race Jul 6 then checked and broke when 73.5m 7th $18 (Fr2) Balraj NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:50.9) R5673 race Jul 15. Not rating well enough.

Race comment

First start since spell. Broke in the early part of the race and lost considerable ground when 87m 9th (10m) The Night Hawk NZ Hawera 3150m (2:10.8) R5780 race Apr 22 then finished 28.5m 8th (Sr) Ball Of Art NZ Alexandra Park 2200m (1:59.0) R5766 race May 24. Back from a spell and he has placed fresh before and has a useful record in this distance range; could run well here if fancied.

Race comment

Eased early and inconvenienced when 3.7m 2nd $6.50 (Fr9) Master Catch Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R4463 race Jul 13 then raced wide late when 3.7m 6th $8.00 (Sr1) Mista Taptoe Lombo Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5064 race Jul 20. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Finished 14.7m 3rd $151 (Fr4) Que Sera Newcastle 2030m (1:59.1) R5666 race Jul 6 then eased early when 60m 5th $61 (Fr5) Balraj NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:50.9) R5673 race Jul 15. Minor place only.

Race comment

Eased early when 5.5m 3rd $15 (Fr8) Master Catch Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R4463 race Jul 13 then won $26 (Sr3) narrowly over Scotlynn Jiggs NZ 0.5m Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5064 race Jul 20. In with a modest chance in this company.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 14m 8th $21 (Fr4) Rock N Joy Newcastle 1609m (1:59.0) R5892 race Jul 13 then beaten 20.5m 7th $23 (Sr2) Moonlight Cruiser Newcastle 2030m (1:57.5) R5670 race Jul 20. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Impressive winner $4.20 (Fr3) defeating Blue Blazer NZ 12m Maitland 1646m (1:56.8) C2-C3 race Jun 17 then won easily defeating Glenn Ford NZ 6.5m $3.10 (Fr3) Newcastle 2030m (1:59.1) R5666 race Jul 6. In form and warrants respect despite a less favourable draw here than at past two runs.

Race comment

Solid effort when 6.2m 6th $9.50 (Sr4) Sals Luck Penrith 2125m (1:59.4) R5665 race Jul 11 then eased early when 8.2m 6th $26 (Fr6) All About Art Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5862 race Jul 18. Thereabouts in recent starts and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 12m 7th $12 (Fr4) Hows The Memory Penrith 1720m (1:57.2) C2-C5 race Jun 27 then eased early when 3.5m 3rd $14 (Fr5) All About Art Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5862 race Jul 18. Drawn poorly but a place chance.
