The Gardens Race 3 - Racing Every Weekend In Newcastle 1-2 Win
DROP A STACK (4) caught the eye on debut when charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.60) over 400m at this track. Looks promising and can measure up again. CANYA SLAY (3) jumped from this box and scored in quick time latest (22.92) at this track over 400m in a Maiden. Safe beginner and drawn well close to the inside. Harder here but expected to feature again. BLUE LEGEND (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish 8 lengths away in second (23.39) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expecting another good run. TRALEE JOEY (2) can run a bold race on best form.

Solid performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.92) beating Otto Mann in Maiden on June 26. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Strongly supported on debut and immediately off the mark, scoring by 5.5 lengths at this track over 400m (22.60). Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Taree Super Track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.

In the money last time at Gosford (22.41) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Suited here and expected to run well.
