Newcastle Race 2 - 2Hd Breakfast With Richard King Pace
NOCTURNAL (10) missed narrowly when kicking off his campaign two back at Goulburn before chasing a boom three-year-old at Listed level last start at Menangle. This is much easier and he owns a good record at this distance. Can peak and win third-up. A BUCK TEN (8) tackled the good juveniles through much of last season but was a winner at Penrith the last time he raced outside of the city. Draws wide but goes well fresh with a win and two placings from three attempts and should be ready to go off two trials. CHEVRON FLIES NZ (9) is building a strong record at this circuit and distance having scored back-to-back wins before a second from this row last week. TARA VICTORY NZ (6) heads north off a last-start Ballarat win and can measure up.UPSTREAM (3) draws well and could be close to a win having come from wider barriers to place in her last two outings here.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Chevron Flies at this track over 1609m in a NR 46 to 54 on February 13 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Rocknroll Clarry at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on February 20 at $9. Draws well and can be about the money again.
