Newcastle R4 Tooheys Pace

Race comment

Raced wide early when 13m 4th $19 (Fr5) Dothedealdylan Maitland 1646m (2:01.9) C0 race Nov 12 then very impressive winner $7.00 (Fr6) defeating Private Sector 26m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.4) R4449 race Jul 15. Looked good winning first-up and should be even fitter for this race; contender again from a suitable draw.

First start since spell. Was a handy winner $6.00 (Fr3) defeating My Blue Heeler 6m Newcastle 2030m (2:02.0) C0 race Feb 23 then impressive winner $4.40 (Fr1) over Barkeeta 7m Newcastle 1609m (2:01.5) C0 race Mar 9. Coming off a break but has placed in 2 from 5 when fresh.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 14.5m 4th $12 (Fr1) My Anna Rani Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4449 race Jul 1 then caught the eye defeating Eagle Uno 5.5m $3.40 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (1:59.6) R4245 race Jul 15. Tougher here but can't dismiss last start effort.

Race comment

Finished 5.7m 4th $51 (Fr3) Starzzzinthe Cross Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4452 race Jul 15 then beaten 8m 4th $3.30 (Fr5) Ponderosa Bigz Newcastle 1609m (1:57.9) R4353 race Jul 20. Just out of the placings last start and a winner over the distance range; not the worst.
