Newcastle Race 8 - Somerset Meats Pace
MEDIA MOGUL (10) finished fourth at his most recent outing, beaten 5.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a comparable field so he can salute this time around. REASONABLY SWEET (4) finished third last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1609m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. HOGES MEMORIES (9) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. Each-way claims. COOINDALAI (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
