Newcastle Race 2 - Tab Regional Championships - Hunter Heat One

ALWAYS BE CHAPS (10) was last seen when fourth at Listed level in November and won two of his previous three outings at this circuit. Draws on the second line but goes very well fresh with three wins and two placings from five attempts and should be ready to fire off two nice trials, winning the latest. LOVE LOU (3) has filled a minor placing in both appearances at this venue since a spell, last time coming from this barrier when beaten a head. Nearing peak fitness. MONDELLO BEACH (4) is a two-time winner at this venue and distance and is open to improvement second-up. BETTERTHANFEDERER (6) was held up last time at Menangle but placed at his previous two here so could atone.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.8m 2WWC beaten 4.5 m by Abstract Art (1:57.20) in NR up to 52 on April 25 at $11. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.3 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (1:56.10) beating Uncle Gregory in NR up to 48 on April 19 at $3. Consider for exotics.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Fast Tracker at Tamworth over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on April 17 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Fast Tracker at Narrabri over 2560m in a NR up to 70 on April 20 at $8. Looking to others.
