GOING:

CLUB MENANGLE - WARATAH HEAT 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

CHEDDAR VALLEY (4) has put together a series of handy efforts at Newcastle, last time leading and sticking on for third. Placed both times he has visited his circuit. Has winning claims. THE CID (11) was out of the money last time but had put together four successive placings prior, three of them at this circuit. Beaten only 3.2m from a similar barrier here two back. Big chance. MY ROCK MOVES (6) draws wider but must be respected having won two of her last three outings at this circuit and distance. Last-start winner TABRA (2) is in the mix again from another favourable draw.
