Newcastle Race 2 - Harness Racing Nsw - Representing The Industry Pace
ROCKIN BULL (1) added to his strong form when worked to the lead from a wide barrier and stuck on well for second at Menangle last start. Overcame a back row draw to win the last time he raced here and can take full advantage of the ace draw. LOCHINVAR JAG (9) made it four wins from his last six appearances when he raced parked but dug deep to get home narrowly at Penrith last time. Draws on the back row here but comes back in grade so could be tough to beat with even luck. HAPPY TOO YA (10) is another presented with a new challenge courtesy of a second line draw but he is hard to knock after putting together a string of top-two results including a win at this circuit and distance two back. METALLICA MAN (6) draws wide but is in the mix after turning in a good effort last week to come from the back row for second at this venue.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Fasting at Menangle over 1609m on September 1 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Mcwizard at Menangle over 1609m on September 8 at $4.60. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Vincentius Maximus (1:52.80) on September 18 at $34. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 11 m by Happy Too Ya (1:52.70) on September 4 at $19. Others make more appeal.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at Penrith, beaten a nose by Lochinvar Jag (2:02.60) on September 10 at $3.30. Two runs back won by 3.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:52.70) beating Ire Of The Dragon in on September 4 at $2.15. With any luck from the second row should be in the finish again.
