NEWCASTLE R6 #8 MAORI CHIEF
X2.5 STAKE WIN $1.90
X2.5 STAKE WIN TOTE
Looked to travel well in a couple trials against Winchester who has won a maiden, one of those trials looked to travel well enough on heavy ground, just needs to have another gear and should be hard to beat. Copacabana is in the black book but had a few chances to win by now. Will have a couple dollars on STRATAFY at $50 has trialled fairly quiet so there could be something there

#6 INFLUENZA
X0.75 STAKE WIN $11
Fairly quiet time behind Daggers in a jump-out, if asked I’m thinking wouldn’t have been far off. Jock asked horse to pick up for a very short period of time in recent jump-out and Wolfgang was alongside, Wolf has won a couple races. Think in the right stable that would improve from that little fitness test in recent jump-out and wouldn’t go backwards. Not getting carried away with staking because bit low on confidence at the moment but hopefully can build with this one. Couldn’t have Burning Sensation. Formal haven’t seen much. Goblins hasn’t set world on fire. Salsa Fellow in black book but hasn’t done that much, last run was okay late. Saver on Influenza, would like to let these ones go all the time because good chance is better at the jump-outs than what actually is, maybe doesn’t handle race pressure but would have to be a chance if recent jump-outs were a true sign, big enough odds to save on
