Newcastle Race 8 - Alabar Australia Pace
BETTATHANMOZARELLA (3) went back last start then worked home fairly to finish 18 metres from the winner in seventh at Tamworth over 1609m, that effort following a good third at Tamworth the run prior. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FULLOFFIGHT (10) finished seventh last start over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 15 metres when working hard throughout, after a good third at Shepparton the run prior. Meets some better types this time but a return to form is not out of the question. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (9) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track. Great chance to break through. ROSES ARE BEST (4) could feature from a good draw.

Failed to impress last start; was well beaten after breaking at this track on June 27. Showed ability the race before when she won by 8 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:57.00) beating Wicked Dreamer in MAIDEN on June 20 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 6.88. Can bounce back. Among the chances on best form.

Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Uncle Gregory at this track over 1609m in a NR 39 to 40 on July 8 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind War Western at this track over 1609m in a NR 38 to 40 on July 29 at $7.50. Looks tough to beat.
