Newcastle Race 6 - Somerset Meats Pace
UPSTREAM (2) has been racing well, putting together a string of top-four results since she came from much wider to win at this circuit and distance last month. Had a back row draw when third last week. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and looks well placed. ROCKSIE ROCK (7) made it two wins in a row when he got the cash by 4 metres at this circuit and distance last time. Only draws one spot wider and could land the hat trick. PELIGROSO (3) draws well and is on the radar after finishing close to the placings at his last couple. MISTER BRILLANTE (6) is heading the right way, coming from a similar barrier for a close second last week.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track, beaten 50 m by Miss Australiana (2:24.80) on November 6 at $10. Before that, 8th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 2.11 beaten 10 m by Whataboyjack (1:54.40) in 4yo+ on October 30 at $3.50. Gets the ace draw so a better run is on the cards.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Whataboyjack at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on October 30 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Bouganvillea at this track over 1609m in a M on November 6 at $2.50. Should get her chance from this draw.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Penrith. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 4 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:55.50) beating Zacharooni in on November 2 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-2.79. Big chance to make it the hat trick wins.
