Newcastle Race 2 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
LOCHINVAR JAG (1) impressed last week when he recorded a commanding win by almost 20 metres at Penrith. Had enough speed to lead from much wider there so he will relish the ace draw tonight. Take beating. JAYJAYBENNY (2) had to call on all reserves to salute at the most recent appearance at Tamworth, leading from this barrier and digging deep when getting home by a head. Should be prominent from the outset so can make an impact again. FAZE OF GLORY NZ (5) draws wider but produced a good effort last time out when runner-up at this venue. Go well. PET KITTY (6) eases back in grade on recent attempts so could be more competitive.

In good form. Last start won by 19 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Penrith (2:03.50) beating Captain Ritchie in on June 25 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 12.96. The ace draw gives him every chance to win again.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m on June 12 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind No Notthebuttons at this track over 2030m on June 19 at $3.60. Contender.
