AU1 - Newcastle - Race 8

KATLAS DREAM (1) turned in another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. OPEN THE GATES (8) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 22 metres into eighth at this track over 1m. Must overcome another very wide draw. This is a nice drop in grade so she is in the right race to return to form. WAR WESTERN (6) is better than his last-start ninth over 1m at this track. Worth another chance. ROCKIN BULL (4) last appeared when runner-up over 1 ?m at Ballarat 12 weeks ago. Must be respected.
