Newcastle Race 4 - Somerset Meats 2yo Mdn Pace

POPS HOLLAQUIN (5) faces the starter for the first time. By Mel Mara and hails from the Alistair Copps stable. Has strong trial form coming into this. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to his career. WILDFIRE STRIDE (4) made an encouraging debut when placed at Menangle, albeit a fair way off the winner. Open to improvement and draws well so looks a danger. LOMBOSATTITUDE (8) is a two-year-old colt by Huntsville from Kahliadenise Lombo on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Will be right there at the business end. IFSBUTSANDBILYCANS (9) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
