Newcastle Race 3 - Pfd Food Service 2yo Mdn Pace
PRETTY PRIVILEGE (2) could only manage to finish tenth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, a poor reflection on his short quote. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. His recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. DELANEY NZ (7) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Well-placed to take this out. LOCHINVAR COOGEE (1) is the next best after finishing third over 1720m at Penrith last time out. BUCKAROO SHANNON (3) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Gordons Ghost at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on July 31 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Soho Cruza at Penrith over 1720m in a 2yo on August 6 at $4.60. Expected to be in the finish again.
