GOING: N

88.9FM NEW ENGLAND NORTH WEST PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 21)    

LACHIES IDEAL (8) has the hoof on the till after finishing second in his last two outings at Newcastle, last time working from a wide barrier to go under by just a head. Won the only time he raced at this circuit and distance. Leading hope. RIPPIN RUPERT (4) was a neck away in second when resuming from a back row draw at Narrabri. Has won a trial since so should have come on and has won when second-up before. PARIS PRINCESS (10) raced three wide without cover last start so that result can be forgiven. Had recorded a string of wins and placings prior including a victory from this barrier so deserves another chance. An inside draw brings ROSE NOIRE (1) right into contention.
