Newcastle Race 8 - Tab App (Bm64)
ECLAIR ENCORE (8) draws well and has been close to a win in two starts from a spell. Home track tutored and rising in trip looks well placed. HELL'S ITCH (3) has run his best races at this track and handles any give in the ground. With a kind draw take seriously. ECLAIR AWESOME (13) is progressing strongly having put two wins together. Has upside so could take the next step and land the hat trick. GENERAL SOHO (2) strikes at 50 per cent at this track and is a player off a close second in the city two starts back.

Useful gelding. Most recently got back early 10th of 15 at this track Bm68 on April 12 over 1600m, 4 len behind Fiftyfivechevy carrying 57.5kg at $12. The start before that ran last of 14 at Rosehill Midway Bm72 on March 22 over 1500m, 5 len behind Inferencia with 55.5kg at $17. Better placed here. Rates highly in this line-up so expecting a much better run.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Gosford Cl1 April 10 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Meet Me In Bondi carrying 55kg at $6. The start before that won by 1.2 len at Albury Super Mdn March 20 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Sister Shay with 57.5kg at $4.40. Rates highly here and should be right in the mix again.
