Newcastle Race 6

Somerset Meats Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

BE MY ROCK (4) turned in a poor effort by his standards most recently when 20 metres away in seventh over 1609m at Menangle. The form prior to that had been solid. This is easier and he can take it out. CERTAINLYCALLITIN (1) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.2 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the ability to take care of this field. GROSESTAR (3) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2030m at this track last time out. HY FILANTE (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 2030m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering on an each-way basis.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Catchingconfidence at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 48 on November 28 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Bettine at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on December 6 at $101. Likely to measure up.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr2) over 2030m at this track beaten 20 m by Ideal Mondo (2:28.50) in NR up to 48 on December 6 at $11. The start before 8th (Fr3) over 2030m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 9th-13.26 beaten 12 m by Avaiden (2:28.60) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 15 at $41. Sure to go a lot better this time.

Last start 7th (Sr2) over 1646m at Maitland was 6th-9.3m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 6 m by De La Renta (2:01.40) in NR 47 to 50 on December 1 at $10. Before that, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr8) over 2030m at this track, beaten 24 m by Bo Duke (2:27.90) in NR up to 52 on October 18 at $23. Tricky draw again but expected to atone.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
