Newcastle

SHOTGUN BELLA (10) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Port Macquarie and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation and drawn nicely. Winning chance. CHICA DEL MAR (5) Ran on strongly to win last start at Armidale but racing against tougher rivals. Jockey Aaron Bullock rates highly aboard and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Deserves consideration. KENMARE BAY (2) First up and made some ground late when 2nd first up last preparation at Wyong. Jockey William A Stanley and trainer Tom Charlton & John Oshea link well together. Definite claims. SWIFT CHARM (3) Bold effort when winning last start at Kempsey and challenged by less formidable competitors. Very competitive this campaign and getting better in recent performances. Could be value.
