AU2 - Newcastle - Race 7

TRIED AND TRUSTED (9) had been racing in great heart then added to the list last start when he finished second over 1m at Menangle, beaten 2.75 metres to make it three minor placings from his past four starts. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Primary contender in this comparable race. DOUBLE LINES (3) ran third last start at Tamworth over 1m, beaten 6 metres. Expect him to be prominent. ROCKSIE ROCK (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Penrith over 1 ¹/16m. ZACHAROONI (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1m at Tamworth. Has place prospects.
