Newcastle Race 4 - Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
DOUBLE FEAR (8) has been racing well at Menangle, coming from this same barrier to place two back. Scored over this distance the only time he raced here. If things go his way he is up to winning a race like this. THE CID (6) was successful at his most recent outing at this circuit and distance, racing parked from this barrier before scoring by 3.7 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. ULTIMATE CRUZA (7) won at Menangle three back and has been good from wider barriers than this in both outings there since, finishing second two back and midfield in a Listed race last week. LACEYS LAD NZ (10) draws on the back row but has been solid of late include a second here last week.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 10 m by Huxton (1:51.10) on September 12 at $9.50. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr7) over 2300m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-7.16 beaten 7 m by Vite Monet (2:43.90) on September 5 at $12. Nicely placed so has strong claims with even luck.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Dance With Carmer (1:51.60) on September 18 at $26. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head when quickly away, (Fr8) at this track (2:24.90) beating Whataboyjack in on July 24 at $7.50 at the bell was leading 5.18. Capable of more than he has shown recently. First four hope.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Saint Crusader at this track over 1609m on September 11 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Dance With Carmer at this track over 1609m on September 18 at $19. Forward performance expected.
