Newcastle Race 4 - Barastoc Race N Win Pace
PURE GRUNT (8) hasn't featured in the last two outings but they have been against good company and he was a winner three back at Albion Park. Has to contend with a very wide draw but has a strong record at this circuit and distance with three wins and a placing from four attempts. VAN BASTEN (10) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt. Came from this barrier and filled a minor placing at the previous appearance in this grade at this venue. May need luck extracting from the second row but if things go his way he could find winning form. COTE DAZUR NZ (3) has been racing well at Tamworth, winning two back and placing from the second row last week. Draws for a good showing. RADIANT AMBER (9) is worth thought after coming from this barrier for a last-start win by 3.4 metres at this circuit and distance.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Sr3) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 11 m by Rouge Bling (2:26.60) on June 25 at $4.80. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 8th-16.38 beaten 18 m by Hugo Maguire (1:51.00) on June 16 at $101. This looks too tough.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 10th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 21 m by Soho Charmer (1:51.40) on June 13 at $17. The run previous was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 1660m after being wide early at Albion Park beaten 50 m by Fire And Passion (1:55.00) in 3yo G3 CG on May 30 at $34. Has a fine record here so can improve sharply.
