Newcastle Race 6 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Best Sires Pace
NOTHING FINER (4) chalked-up a second win from his past three outings when he made up plenty of ground in a sustained effort to get the prize nine days ago over 1730m at Bathurst. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. FAKE FRIENDS (5) finished seventh last start at Group Three level in a race won by Quatro Moth over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 30 metres. Ready to make a bright return. FAY IRENE (9) is better than her last-start seventh over 1609m at Menangle. SWEET TARA (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at this track over 1609m when fresh from a spell.

Last preparation only had one start before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (1:56.70) beating Arma The Great in 0-1 WIN on July 29 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 3.58. Fitter and should be involved again.

Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Reds Good To Go at this track over 1609m in a NR 45 to 50 on July 8 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Louie Dada at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 47 on July 25 at $3.50. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Returns after three months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Quatro Moth at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo G3 No NR F on May 10 at $19. Previous preparation first-up won by 13 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (1:55.90) beating Pure Grunt in 2yo MAIDEN on February 7 at $4.20. Likely to measure up.

Looked good last start. Posted a big 3.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:27.20) beating Captain Groove in NR up to 47 on July 25 at $13. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track, beaten 20 m by Imperial Night (2:25.80) in 4 WINs on February 21 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.
