SHIRE OF EAST PILBARA NEWMAN CUP 2100m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

King Mahuta, Do It Right and Reginald can set up a solid gallop. KING MAHUTA (1) has been thriving on the dirt and had their measure completely last start when adding another impressive win to the tally. Goes up in the weights but his form is too hard to fault. Clearly the one to beat. ACERMETRIC (3) and REGINALD (2) chased in vain behind the King last start but respective prior form indicates they are right up to this if they recapture such. Get an important weight swing over the winner, which could prove all the difference. Don't dismiss. MR HOLLYWOOD (7) has been savaging the line of late. This is tougher but expecting him to relish the added trip and be making his presence felt at the business end. CANDLELIGHT SHERIF (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Mahuta to win again.
