Strong pace from Ramones and Femme Fatale matching motors with Super Sioux close at hand. SPECK (8) classy mare set to peak fourth up. Closed strongly with the 59kg when a sound fourth over 900m at Newcastle in BM64 grade. Goes well at this track and trip and should prove too strong for these. SUPER SIOUX (7) racing in a rich vein of form and down sharply in weight in this harder contest. Another with a good record here who shapes as the main danger. MYSTERY LAD (1) anchored with the 60.5kg when a solid on pace second over 1200m at this track. Gets map favours and his best form is over this trip. Respect. FEMME FATALE (6) ran an improved race finishing midfield last start at this track, capable of getting into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Speck looks ready to win.
