Newcastle Race 2

Ave Technologies Waratah Heat

Stake: $10,796

LOVE LOU (10) is racing in fine form having scored back-to-back wins at this circuit before coming from this row to miss by just a nose last week. With even luck he can return to the winners' list. There was plenty to like about the latest effort of FIRST STRING (9) when third at this circuit and distance. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Player if it comes his way. KARAOKE KING (11) is another drawn on the second line but has claims off back-to-back wins here last month. ABSTRACT ART (1) won at this circuit the last time he had the ace draw so is worth thought.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at Tamworth was 4th-15.4 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Dougs Rules (1:55.90) in NR up to 52 on July 17 at $7. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Wamboyneinamerica at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 52 on July 11 at $13. This looks a tough task.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Love Lou at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 57 on July 11 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Ire Of The Dragon at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 55 on July 18 at $5. Progressing well. Likely to play a major role.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 2030m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.65 beaten a nose by Arnies Army (2:30.40) in NR up to 60 on July 18 at $7.50. Two runs back won by 3.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:53.80) beating Imperial Night in NR up to 57 on July 11 at $5 at the bell was leading 4.67. Form hard to fault so can go close.
