Newcastle Race 6 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Best Sires Three Year Old Pace
THE GREAT WAVE (3) kicked off her career with a win a week ago, getting home by 13 metres over 1609m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. ERROL FIN (6) was a solid fourth two starts ago, then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 11 metres away in fourth over 1609m at this track. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. Both career wins of CAPTAIN GROOVE (9) have come at this distance and he draws for a nice trail. BLING THE KASH (4) has been solid in two starts since a spell and could be ready to peak.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Mac Thunder (1:55.80) in NR up to 55 on July 4 at $51. Two runs back won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Tamworth (2:28.50) beating Macedes in NR up to 48 on June 26 at $7 at the bell was leading 4.2. Might find this a bit tough.
