Newcastle   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(4)

Sunnyside Tavern (Bm60) 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Hawaiian Rose can lead and dictate. Hawaiian Rose and Snitz Kiss should show out early in a smallish field to keep them rolling along. KRAVCHENKO is having a productive campaign with two placings in as many starts since resuming. Has a solid record at this trip and third up looms as the genuine favourite for the Coyle camp. PARK BENCH bombed the start badly first up and can be forgiven that run. Has won second up previously and has a very reliable record over this type of journey. Looking for a better showing in this grade. HAWAIIAN ROSE is first up and has run some cheeky races fresh in the past. Better over more ground but she put in a handy trial effort recently and could get a soft lead in front. Value hope for the multiples. Cash Strapped has been thereabouts of late and gets a bit of weight relief off recent runs. CASH STRAPPED tends to mix his form quite often however he looks to save his best for the Newcastle track. Gets in well after the claim for Heywood and will be thereabouts at the finish. PARK BENCH second-up is on the improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kravchenko straight out.
