Newcastle Race 1

The Seabreeze Hotel Nelson Bay Waratah Heat

Stake: $10,996

FLARE UP (2) is close to a win after placing in her last three outings at this circuit, the latest when a 3.5m third to race rival AVAIDEN. Draws better than him this evening so can turn the tables. AVAIDEN (11) is hard to knock having won both outings here since a spell. Has led in both of those so the back row draw presents more of a challenge but winning form is hard to knock. CAPTAIN DORIAN (6) has been ultra consistent and is is right in contention after continuing a string of top-four finishes with a second here last week. WAR WESTERN (4) takes another step up in grade but is going well with back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Avaiden at this track over 2030m 4yo+ NR up to 55 last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track same class on November 8. Close to a win and gets his chance from a low draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Rippin Good Feelin at this track over 2030m in a 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 8 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Polka Delight at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 52 on November 15 at $6.50. Racing well and is a leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Goodtime Sailor at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 50 on November 8 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Marvella at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 47 on November 15 at $4.40. Can play a role.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Five-year-old gelding racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 2030m. Last start won by 1.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:28.60) beating Repartee in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on November 15 at $7 at the bell was leading 4.24. Tougher draw but hard to knock.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
