Newcastle Race 4 - Chaddies On Regent Waratah Heat
LOVE LOU (4) led and faded last start at Menangle but should relish the return to this circuit having recorded a win and a placing from his previous two outings here, both from wider barriers than this. Can show his best again tonight. SOME CHEVRON NZ (1) broke when well fancied last start but was racing well prior, putting together four successive placings at this venue. Aided by the ace draw and can break through with better manners. KARAOKE KING (3) draws well and must be respected having scored from the back line last week, giving him two wins and two placings from his last four outings here. SURF ACE (11) may need some luck from this barrier but his last two efforts have been sound so he could be close to a win.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Captain Blood at this track over 1609m in a NR 54 to 60 on October 14 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Pure Grunt at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on October 24 at $34. Better last start and draws to advantage so may be worth inclduing.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Skittle Bomb at Menangle over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on October 20 at $5. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Wipeout (1:53.20) in NR up to 65 on October 10 at $8. Rates highly. Better placed and can return to the winners' list.
