AU2 - Newcastle - Race 3

MY MCLAREN (3) is a three-year-old gelding from the Michael Formosa yard on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. SPELL CHECK (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 14 metres at Tamworth over 1 ³/16m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. EXECUTIVEDECISIONS (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1m at this track. Should run a big race. NEVER KNOW SPARKY (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1m at this track on April 20.
