Newcastle Race 1 - Newcastle Herald Pace
TRISTAR FOR CHRIS (9) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 6 metres, after a good second at Penrith the run prior. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Primary contender if he is at his best. TULHURST PEBBLES (8) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 25 metres away in ninth over 1780m at Redcliffe. Form prior to that had been solid. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. MICKEY BE NIMBLE (5) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Menangle. Each-way chance. DOUBLE SAID (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

At his previous start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 0.97 beaten 5 m by Girlsgotcurls (1:56.50) on June 15 at $7. Certainly worth another chance.
