Newcastle Race 7 - Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 2yo Colts And Geldings Heat - Round 1
DISTURBANCE (6) raced three wide without cover when he resumed with a fourth in the Tatlow Stakes at Menangle then drew on the back row and worked again but was too good in scoring by 3.4m at Penrith last week. Won over this distance the only time he raced here. Progressive colt who will be fitter again third up. Take beating. CHANGES (3) has been racing well, filling a top-three position in all four starts this time in. Led from wider for a 2.4m second most recently at this circuit and distance so has the speed to go forward from a good draw. PRETTY PRIVILEGE (1) steps up in grade but has put two wins together and should enjoy a soft run from the inside draw. WATTS UP WOODY (7) hasn't raced since he placed here six months ago but may have developed further with maturity and has been readied with two city trials, placing in his latest.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Penrith and this track. Last start won by 1.1 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:07.20) beating Slip Slidnaway in 2yo on September 17 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 0.27. The ace draw could see him take this next step.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Wildfire Stride at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on August 31 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Pretty Privilege at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on September 14 at $3.70. May be competitive.
