Newcastle Race 7 - Somerset Meats 2yo Pace

MCWEAPON (3) drew wider last start and was far from disgraced when fifth at Bathurst. Placed in the previous two outings, one of them at this circuit and distance. Winning chance from a good draw. SWEDESBORO (5) is a two-year-old filly by Bling It On and makes her debut for Narelle McCarthy. Has placed in her last two trials at Menangle so look for a strong showing. GORDONS GHOST (10) broke the maiden with a last-start win by 6 metres at this circuit and distance. Tougher draw but he is progressing well. AMERICAN HOLD UP (7) is a son of Tintin In America on debut for the Kerryann Morris yard. Draws wide but has a Menangle trial win under the belt so keep safe.
