Newcastle Race 4 - Hunter Valley Harness Racing Association Pace
WAMBOYNEINAMERICA (10) won at Menangle two runs ago before a good effort for fifth to the flying Captains Knock at his latest appearance. Draws on the back row but drops in grade and is suited returning to a circuit and distance where he has won five of eight attempts. I BREAK THE LINE (8) went back from a second line draw when resuming last start before working home to finish 2.8 metres from a smart winner in second at Bathurst. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but he is a two-time second-up winner so should be improved and owns a strong record at this circuit and distance. DANCE WITH CARMER (7) has yet to miss a place when second-up so can improve off last Saturday's fourth when resuming at Menangle. JAY OK (9) draws for a trail and could be close to a win after some nice efforts at Menangle including a second last Saturday.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 10 m by Happy Too Ya (1:52.70) on September 4 at $34. Two runs back won by 2.5 m (Fr1) at this track (1:53.30) beating Between Decks in on August 28 at $7. Draws well but might need easier.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Im Rockin It at Menangle over 1609m on August 29 at $19. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Grosso Naso at Penrith over 1720m on September 3 at $1.50. Contender.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle was 8th-22.62 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Captains Knock (1:48.80) on September 5 at $81. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck (Fr5) at Menangle (1:50.90) beating Kanena Provlima in on August 29 at $34. Recent city form reads well and he owns a strong record here.
