Newcastle Race 4 - The Billy Bull Harvey Birthday Pace
HUXTON NZ (2) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after ending the last campaign in Brisbane where he was an Albion Park winner two back. He has won both previous attempts at this circuit and distance. Draws well and should be ready to go off a trial win. WAMBOYNEINAMERICA (9) made it three minor placings from his past four starts when he finished 4.4 metres away in second at Menangle last week. Suited returning to a circuit and distance where he has won four of seven tries. Draws for a trail and could break through if he gets the gaps. MAJOR ART NZ (1) has joined a new yard but has decent form at Menangle including a couple of recent placings from wider barriers so is well served by the ace draw. RIVERA LOU (4) has been ticking along well at Menangle. Has won four of seven attempts here. Right in this.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle was 8th-13.12 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Lenneth (1:51.60) on June 9 at $2.70. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-6.75 beaten 1.1 m by Sky Blu (1:52.00) on June 2 at $5.50. In a new yard and should get his chance from the inside draw.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Last Time Joe at this track over 1609m on June 5 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m on June 12 at $13. Can go well again.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 17 m by Final Deadline (1:54.40) in 4yo+ on June 13 at $17. At the run before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 9 m by My Ultimate Flynn (2:36.20) in 4yo+ on June 6 at $4.80. Gets a wide draw but could measure up switching from Queensland.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Nyack at Menangle over 1609m on June 9 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Our Rocker at Menangle over 1609m on June 13 at $10. Close to a win and this suits.
