Newcastle Race 7 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
THREEBUSHELSOFOATS (2) registered yet another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 2030m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is in the right race to return to the winners' list. OPEN THE GATES (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1646m at Maitland. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to prove tough to beat. ROCKET BOY (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1646m at Maitland a week ago. SWEET TARA (9) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1646m at Maitland.

Two back was well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Rippin Rupert at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 53 on December 11 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Wamboyne Machete at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 52 on December 20 at $2.90. Sure to play a major role.
