Newcastle Race 1 - Medowie Lodge Pace
CHLOBRO (5) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2030m when working outside the leader. Meets a comparable field and he can go right on with the job. KASBAH (8) was hampered by a flat tyre last start. Draws wide but has a strong record at this circuit and distance with three wins and three placings from seven attempts. Big chance. CAPTAIN GROOVE (6) finished second last start over 2030m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres, after a good win at Tamworth the run prior. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. LOUIE DADA (9) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by 3.5 metres at this track over 2030m. Likely to have a similar run this time in.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 2030m after showing early speed at this track beaten 15 m by Louie Dada (2:27.20) in NR up to 47 on July 25 at $13. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose (Fr6) at this track (1:56.30) beating The Great Wave in 3yo 2 WINs on July 11 at $4.40 at the bell was leading 1.11. Expected to be in the finish.
