Newcastle Race 6 - Attheraces.com/Marketmovers Handicap Chase
HALF SHOT (2) bounced back creditably last time when 9L third in a 5200m chase at Kelso after an unplaced run there previously. Trending the right way and looks a genuine winning hope. WHIZZ KID (3) improved sharply placing third in a 4000m chase at Ludlow last start and can build on that effort. Warrants serious consideration. ARTHUR'S QUAY (1) wasn't disgraced when fourth at Sedgefield providing most recent appearance. Capable of further improvement. Monitor for market support. MOODOFTHEMOMENT (4) failed to finish making chase debut at Sedgefield. Did indicate enough promise and can be considered. Holds appeal.

Useful gelding. Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last run made ground from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Sedgefield on September 30 over 4200m, 72 len behind Aslukwoodhavit carrying 76kg at $5.50. Before that finished fifth of 11 runners at Cartmel on August 25 over 4200m, 20 len behind Champagne Gold with 75kg at $17. Go close. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.
