AU2 - Newcastle - Race 5

Expect GROSSO NASO (4) to be improved his resuming effort. He was in good form last campaign, heading to the paddock with three wins from his last four outings. He'll enjoy the step up to a distance whet he strikes at 50 per cent so this looks more a suitable assignment. CAPTAIN GROOVE (10) made it three wins in a row at this circuit when he led led to score by 1.7 metres last star. Starts from the back row today but won from there two back. Could take this next step. SENSATIONALIZE (2) is back from a let-up but has trialled nicely. Draws well and will relish the return to a circuit where she has yet to miss the top-three in nine attempts including three wins. KISSMELVIS (9) won from this barrier three back at Penrith and has finished runner-up in both starts from this line here since. Go well again.
