Newcastle Race 7 - Wallsend Football Club Pace
APACHE BART (6) left Victoria after scoring at Hamilton at his second outing two starts ago before a midfield finish in his first appearance for the Grima yard at Menangle. This looks easier and has upside. Primary contender. EYE CAN TRY (5) produced another sound performance last time when she came from the back row and battled on well for fourth. Has won at this venue and distance before. Leading hope. CAPTAIN GROOVE (2) draws much better than last start and gave a sight when placed two back at Goulburn. CHEDDAR VALLEY (9) deserves respect after coming from this row last time out for third at Narrabri.
