Newcastle Race 3 - Bernie Callinan 80Yr Classic Super Mdn
BUCKENARA (1) went to the paddock close to a win and has been revved up with two recent trials. Drawn well and resumes as gelding in a winnable race. ELIVINA (7) defied a big price to run top three on debut and strips fitter. With added fitness should run well in a suitable race. TAWFIQ TOM (4) has been running well in country grade races of late and has no fears at this trip. Definite threat. COVERT THINKING (6) wasn't beaten far on debut and will be suited as the trips get longer. Look for a sharper showing in a limited line-up.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, got back early 10th of 14 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Pelosa with 56.5kg at $101. Expected to go well with that run under her belt.
