GOING: G(4)

NEWGATE CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.75)  

Genuine pace with Seastraand finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Another deep race. NEXT JEN (1) has been brought north by the Archibald stable after mixed results this prep in Victoria. Best result was a narrow win in a Class 1 over 1400m at Pakenham three back. Has struggled when tested in better company but back in this grade she can turn things around. BRUTAL BELLE (14) came with a well-timed run to score by a long neck last time out over 1200m at Wagga. Placed at two of three runs over this longer trip. Nicely drawn and should be in the finish again. PONTEVEDRA (8) is a lightly raced three-year-old back from a 27-week break and a gelding procedure. Closed last prep with a couple of close wins and may go to another level this time in work. LIGHTHOUSE LASS (5) disappointed at Randwick last start, ending a long run of minor placings. Worth another chance from a good draw in this easier race. ARAPAWA (17) drops 6kgs on his last outing so although up in grade he can run another strong race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Next Jen each-way.
