Newcastle Race 6 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
BLACKMIRRA (6) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when she scored by 6 metres over 1609m at Tamworth. Meets a comparable field so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. CAPTAIN DORIAN (10) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Primary contender based on recent form. GO TESS GO (5) must be considered after she finished third over 1720m at Penrith a week-and-a-half ago. HEEZ REASONABLE (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Between Decks at Penrith over 1720m on July 23 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Jacquelyn Joy at Penrith over 1720m on July 30 at $34. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
