Newcastle Race 6 - Garrards Horse And Hound Super Maiden
FLIGHT LOUTENANT (9) ran fourth last start at Menangle over 1609m, beaten 9 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a big race. DESIGNA LABEL (2) made a nice return at her latest appearance eight days ago, finishing 6 metres away in second over 1720m at Penrith. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and rates a big chance in this comparable race. SLICK AND SUAVE (10) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Top-three aspirations. DEPASSANT (5) ended last prep with an eighth at Goulburn over 1710m 12 weeks ago. Can open this campaign with a much more positive effort.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 4th (Sr1) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 6 m by Reveille Jet (2:07.50) in MAIDEN on June 4 at $12. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
