Newcastle Race 8 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
DAZZLING GEMS (2) has the hoof on the till after placing in her last two outings at this circuit and distance, coming from the back line for third last week. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Gets her chance to put a win on the board. SO CAN EYE (10) resumes here after closing his maiden campaign with a fifth at Penrith last July. May have developed with maturity and was readied with two solid city trials. SIERRA MIST (4) will be fitter for recent racing and could be more competitive in this line-up. WAT ON EARTH (8) is first up for six months. Draws wide but was readied with two trials so is worth keeping safe fresh.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Barden Ridge at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on April 20 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Line Of Courage at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on April 24 at $18. In fine form. A good draw could see her break through.
