GOING: S(6)

AHA NEWCASTLE MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 400m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder.  

Warhol has enough early dash to run them along. WIPEOUT (9) profiles as a major player after three close up efforts in city races to date. Worked home well in latest and stays at a similar trip. Nicely placed to breakthrough. MAJOR LOOK (5) was disappointing in latest but first up run was an eye catcher. Racing like this trip should suit and gets in with a kilo less. Worth another chance. ALTAIR I AM (2) drifted well back first up over a shorter trip but was beaten less than three lengths. Despite a poor draw looks open to sharp improvement here. REGGAE FIRE (6) resumed in fine style before just battling away second up. Stable has held off on wet tracks in recent weeks and draws nice and neat now. Genuine threat third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wipeout win. Box quinella 5, 9, 2.
