Newcastle Race 1

Somerset Meats Pace

Stake: $10,673

ABSTRACT ART (2) is close to a win off back-to-back placings. Led and stuck on for second here two back before another sound effort at his latest appearance at Tamworth, beaten 2.4 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. REPARTEE (1) has had a series of wider or second row draws and has produced some sound efforts including a close second here three back. Won the last time she drew on the pegs. Primary contender. SWEDISH MEATBALLS (6) is close to a win after two successive seconds at Penrith. SUBSTITOOTH (3) draws well and has been readied for his return with two trials. Expect a good effort to kick off this prep. Something for the Multiples: CAPTAIN DORIAN (5) MAJOR MICKEY (9)

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Conor Mcgregor at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 52 on June 17 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Imperial Snapper at Tamworth over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 58 on June 27 at $4. Definite winning chance.
