Newcastle Race 1 - Medowie Lodge Pace

IMPERIAL NIGHT (1) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing a neck away in third over 2030m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can go right on with the job. MAJOR MICKEY (6) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 7 metres over 1609m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field, but he has the ability to mix it with them. LOVE LOU (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m. LULLABY NZ (2) has a good draw and is worth some thought despite her last-start modest effort over 1609m at Menangle on June 28. Something for the Multiples: THREEBUSHELSOFOATS (5)

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.16 beaten 7 m by Paradise Point (1:52.40) in NR 61 to 65 on June 27 at $21. Two runs back was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Mr Teddy (1:53.50) in NR 60 to 63 on June 20 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
