Newcastle Race 3 - Skyfall Estate Pace
HEZA PLAYER (4) led at his most recent outing and scored in a far better performance at Tamworth over 1980m, getting home by 2.5 metres when finding the front early. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. BAT MATSON (3) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 17 metres from the winner in third at Tamworth over 1609m, adding to minor placing two starts ago. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and he can earn that well-deserved win. DUTY OF CARE (6) showed his ability in a last-start win by 2.5 metres at this track. Big chance again. ABSTRACT ART (2) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this track a week ago.
