Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Pace
KRUSTY KRUNCH (2) has been coming from wider barriers of late, winning two back at this circuit and distance before a sixth in a Breeders Challenge heat last start at Menangle. Better placed and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. UPSTREAM (3) overcame a wider barrier when she scored last time out by close to 4 metres at this circuit and distance. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so could take the next step. MISTER BRILLANTE (5) continued his consistent form when third from this barrier last time out, his fourth placing from his last five starts. PELIGROSO (9) placed from this row last time and won twice in a row here prior so must be respected.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Cheddar Valley at this track over 2030m in a 4yo+ on September 11 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Karaoke King at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on September 18 at $3.50. One of the primary contenders.
