Newcastle Race 7 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
SO CAN EYE (10) enjoys a big class drop after chasing star colt Hollywood Strip in a Nutrien Classic heat last time out. His other two starts this time in were strong, coming from this barrier for a fresh win at this circuit and distance before finishing only 2.2m away in the city. Looks well placed this time. NEXT TO ME NZ (6) led to win at this circuit and distance last month and could be close to another success after placing in his last three outings here. BRING YOUR BEST (9) deserved last week's win at this circuit and distance to follow a string of top-four finishes. Draws for a trail so can be competitive again. D J ROCK NZ (7) may enjoy the drop back from the city having come from a similar draw to win here earlier in his campaign.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr4) over 2030m at this track, at the bell was 4th-9.89 beaten 17 m by Lou Will (2:25.70) on May 22 at $21. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 9 m finishing seventh behind Kasbah at this track over 1609m on May 15 at $41. Not keen.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Ultimate Trouble at this track over 1609m on May 8 at $2.25. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Bring Your Best at this track over 1609m on May 22 at $1.35. Rates highly. Draws wider but looks close to a win.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 20 m by Ebony Karalta (1:52.60) in 3yo+ on May 19 at $15. At the start before solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle was 6th-17.05 at the bell, beaten a head by Myth You Already (1:52.30) in 3yo+ on April 7 at $21. Thus suits so can do better.
