Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Active Waratah Heat
SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (2) recorded another strong performance last start when he led from much wider and battled on bravely to miss by just over a metre. That was his third placing in four starts since winning at this circuit and distance. Has the speed to take advantage of the low draw so can go one better. Hard to knock the form of MISTER BRILLANTE (3) who scored by 3 metres from a wider barrier last start, giving him two wins and a close second from his last three starts at this venue. Big chance. ULTIMATE TROUBLE (11) draws on the back row but was brave in a last-start win at this circuit and distance, racing parked from a wide barrier but fighting on well. CAPTAIN DORIAN (1) should get his chance from the ace draw.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, 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 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Katlas Dream at this track over 1609m in a NR 51 to 54 on February 23 at $1.60. Can go one better aided by a good draw.
