Newcastle Race 3 - Greg Brown Memorial
IRON MIKE TYSON NZ (1) is a newcomer to the Kerryann Morris yard from NZ. He chased star youngster Jumal in his last appearance at Alexandra Park six weeks ago and was progressing strongly prior, winning three of his previous four outings. The ace draw gives him every chance to kick off in Australia with a win. LOCHINVAR JAG (9) had enough speed to lead from the outside barrier before going on to score by 8.5 metres at this circuit and distance last time. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if he gets the gaps he may salute again. THE CREEK (3) was a winner here last month and could be close to another success after two successive placings. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (4) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, placing from this barrier last week and winning the previous two times he raced here.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Jumal at Alexandra Park over 2700m in a 3yo on May 1 at $28.40. Raced better the start before that where he won by a 0.8 m (Fr5) at Cambridge Raceway (2:42.80) beating Queen Lizzy in 3yo+ on April 2 at $4.30. Gets the ace draw so can kick off in Australia with a win.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Lochinvar Jag at this track over 1609m on May 29 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Last Time Joe at this track over 1609m on June 5 at $26. Going along well. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Watermain Lady at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo+ on May 9 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Last Time Joe at this track over 1609m on June 5 at $7. One of the chances.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Tamworth (2:25.50) beating Captain Groove in on May 7 at $11 at the bell was leading 3.81. Two runs back 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 8th-17.01 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Pet Kitty (1:55.40) on April 24 at $41. Will find this tough.

Well beaten last start by Faze Of Glory, a rival who he faces again; when 35 metres tenth at Tamworth over 1980m in a race on May 7. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-3.1 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Rocknroll Gig (1:54.20) on May 29 at $11. At the run before was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 5th-11.2 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Rocktagonal (1:52.00) on May 22 at $41. Tricky draw again but capable of better.
