RACE FOUR
He may have some ordinary numbers next to his name, yet NEWPORT DREAMZ (4) is going far better than his returns suggest. Striking trouble twice within the same 400m period last start, he was still only 10m from the winner. Finding position cheaply will be key, but the improved gate is a huge plus after his 3 runs back from a break have all been from gate 10.
ROCKNROLL CLASSIC (3) is in great touch, finishing in the money at his past 4 in succession. Doing it the tough way last start over this trip after being sent forward from gate 6, he was in for the fight to be 2m from the winner. Too sharp in front over the mile the start prior, he will give them a target.
SPRINGFIELD SPIRIT (8) found the pocket trail at his last outing when showing early speed from gate 4 and then taking cover. Finishing best, he will get a cosy trip and will probe for gaps in this to offer.
STORMY RAIDER (6) took on a qualifier over this trip at his 1st look at The Creek where he out-muscled them from the breeze in claiming a 5m victory. Making an error last start, he can atone.
