Newcastle Race 4

Stake: $10,575

LOUS DREAM (3) is back from a break of ten weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. LACEYS LAD (8) has been in the placings two times from as many runs this prep. Turned in yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHICAGO BART (1) is worth thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1609m at Menangle last time out. VINCENTIUS MAXIMUS (2) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2030m at this track last time out.

Resuming after 11 months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Per Ardua Ad Astra at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR 60 to 69 on June 29 at $5.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 3.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Globe Derby Park (2:10.30) beating Always Be Chloe in NR up to 69 M on February 10 2024 at $1.80.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Port Au Prince at this track over 1609m NR up to 80 last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track over 2030m same class on May 30. Can go one better.
