Newcastle Race 4 - Barastoc 2yo Mdn Pace
RIVER WASH (5) finished runner-up last start, beaten 1.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m. Won't find this any harder and she can go right on with the job. LOMBOSATTITUDE (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at Menangle last time out. Has been tackling stronger company so will enjoy the drop to maiden grade. COOLABAH BILL (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight. TOMMY MAGUIRE (6) is a two-year-old gelding from the Michael Formosa yard on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Keep safe.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle was 6th-9 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Warrawee Way Back (1:53.40) in 2yo on October 27 at $8.50. The run prior hung in on scoring up, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 8th-15.54 beaten 12 m by Don Hunter (1:50.80) in 2yo on October 17 at $151. Certainly worth another chance.
