Newcastle Race 1

Medowie Lodge Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

COOL NIGHT (6) has not raced for three-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. OUR IDEAL DREAM (9) produced a better effort last time out when he scored by 2.75 metres over 1609m at this track. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of taking this out. MATT GREGORS BOY (10) has a strong record here so must be a chance on the back of a good win over 2030m at this circuit last time. Top-three aspirations. FIRST STRING (8) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 2300m at Menangle on April 12. Should find this a touch easier.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won a big 4 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:27.90) beating Fast Tracker in NR up to 57 on April 11 at $2. No reason he cannot get the job done again.
