Newcastle Race 7

Tab Regional Championship Consolation - Hunter

Stake: $15,660

FAST TRACKER (10) came from this barrier to miss a smart one by just a head last start at Tamworth. Has been racing in good form this campaign and finds a winnable assignment. GROSSO NASO (4) has been competitive from wider barriers in all three starts this time in including a resuming second and a last-start fourth here. Could be ready to peak. OHWHATIWOULDGIVE (2) led for a last-start win by 3.3 metres at this venue and draws to give a sight again. ALWAYS BE CHAPS (12) will be fitter for the resuming fourth from this row and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 2030m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 9 m by Rock Fisherman (2:27.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $11. Before that, 5th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle beaten 13 m by Bushy Beach (1:52.50) in 4yo+ No NR on April 26 at $23. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Rock Fisherman at this track over 2030m in a 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Ashleys Blue Chip at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 70 on May 8 at $3.10. Leading player.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-16.56 beaten 11 m by Give Me A Minute (1:53.70) in NR 60 to 65 on May 9 at $81. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2030m at this track beaten 20 m by Little Demon (2:27.90) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $51. Hard to have on those efforts.
