Newcastle Race 3 - Somerset Meats Pace

FLARE UP (7) has been racing very well and registered another victory last time out, scoring by 2 metres over 2030m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard, so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. VINCENTIUS MAXIMUS (6) turned in a much better run last start when successful over 1980m at Tamworth, getting home by 12 metres after leading. Steps up a level, but he is capable of running another big race. LULLABY (5) is better than her last-start tenth over 2030m at this track. KILLARA SAMURAI (2) disappointed last time when eighth over 1720m at Penrith. Can turn things around from a good draw.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Betterthanfederer (1:52.60) in NR up to 65 on May 30 at $26. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Racing Paula at this track over 2030m in a 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 16 at $81. This looks a far sterner task.
