Newcastle Race 6 - Tooheys Waratah Heat
TAFL MOVE (4) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 3.5 metres over 1609m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. ROCKNROLL ROCKET (7) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. RAINBOW TITAN (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3.5 metres at Tamworth over 1980m. WILLS WAY (9) last start was a well-beaten seventh over 2030m at this track, 30 metres from the winner. Can feature on best.

In good form recently. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:56.00) beating Bodyline in on August 21 at $2.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.22. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Time To Dance at this track over 1609m on July 31 at $51. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Maywyns Mighty Mac at this track over 1609m on August 10 at $5. Expected to go well again.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 4th-4.57 beaten 6 m by Wunderland (1:56.30) on August 21 at $8.50. Showed ability the race before when she won by 12 m after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (1:55.20) beating Chlobro in on August 14 at $10. Capable of playing a major role.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Time To Dance (1:54.90) on July 31 at $11. Before that 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.53 beaten 7 m by Little Demon (1:56.40) in 4yo+ on July 17 at $16. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
