Newcastle Race 6

Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Best Sires Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

BE GOOD BENNY (4) was responsible for a far better performance last start when runner-up over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 1.2 metres. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. OTIS RISING (1) finished fourth last start over 1609m at Tamworth but gave a good account, beaten only 2 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can play a big role. GIRLSGOTCURLS (3) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when she was interfered with and broke last time, finishing 6 metres back in fourth over 1980m at Tamworth. Likely to get all the favours this time from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up so if she has any luck a big run is likely. REDS GOOD TO GO (5) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at Tamworth. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

At the run before 5th (Fr1) over 2030m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 11 m by Nifty Studleigh (2:26.30) in NR up to 48 on January 15 at $11. This looks a suitable assignment.
