Newcastle R1 Tab Odds & Evens Pace (Sky2)

Race comment

Failed to finish behind The Choreographer Newcastle 1609m (1:54.8) 3R4566 race Jul 27 then handy effort when 8.2m 5th $12 (Fr6) Yayas Hot Heart Newcastle 1609m (1:59.3) R5155 race Aug 3. Expected to be in the leading pair at the bell lap and could be hard to run down.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 21m 8th $71 (Fr7) Cruzy Dude NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R5061 race Jul 29 then beaten 10.7m 7th $34 (Fr9) Sandy Lochinvar Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4851 race Aug 3. Drawn the pole and likely leader here; could fill a spot.

Race comment

Sound effort when 10.7m 4th $9.00 (Fr3) Chezmac Newcastle 1609m (1:57.0) R4854 race Jul 29 then convincing winner $23 (Fr5) defeating Azur Express 6.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4851 race Aug 3. Fitter for recent runs and suited at this track and distance having registered his only win in 9 career starts here.

Race comment

Fought on very well to place 1.2m 2nd $7.50 (Fr9) Que Sera Newcastle 1609m (1:59.1) C0-C1 race Feb 1 then handy effort when 10.2m 3rd $13 (Fr2) Cruzy Dude NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R5061 race Jul 29. Sound effort when resuming last start at this distance and stays in contention with added fitness despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Impressive winner $4.40 (Fr1) over Barkeeta 7m Newcastle 1609m (2:01.5) C0 race Mar 9 then beaten 18.5m 3rd $61 (Fr10) Battle Chimes Newcastle 1609m (1:54.5) R4552 race Jul 29. Useful effort last start at his first run from the spell and better for it.

Race comment

Eased early when 24.5m 7th $51 (Fr3) Battle Chimes Newcastle 1609m (1:54.5) R4552 race Jul 29 then eased early when 6.5m 3rd $26 (Fr10) Sandy Lochinvar Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4851 race Aug 3. Each way claims on recent minor placings.

Race comment

Finished 36m 5th $51 (Fr6) Our Millionaire Newcastle 2030m (1:59.1) C0-C1 race Mar 1 then finished 31.5m 8th $51 (Sr1) Chezmac Newcastle 1609m (1:57.0) R4854 race Jul 29. Drawn well and can improve second up here.

Race comment

Finished 1.5m 3rd $34 (Fr3) Mista Taptoe Lombo Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5064 race Jul 20 then ran 36.5m 8th $61 (Sr1) Lets Go To Brazil Newcastle 2030m (1:56.2) R5360 race Jul 27. Needs to do best.

Race comment

Raced roughly when 77m 9th $34 (Fr6) Miss Streisand NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.1) C1-C2 race Jan 4 then ran 42.5m 11th $51 (Sr2) Regal Rock NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:53.9) R5461 race Jul 29. Lightly raced and while already a winner in this distance range from 4 career runs ran poorly when resuming last start.

Race comment

Eased early when 23m 9th $101 (Fr4) Cruzy Dude NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R5061 race Jul 29 then checked and checked and broke when 63.5m 10th $61 (Sr2) Yayas Hot Heart Newcastle 1609m (1:59.3) R5155 race Aug 3. Others have better claims.

Race comment

Finished 27.5m 9th $126 (Fr2) Tact Maggie NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R5293 race Jul 30 then beaten 15m 6th $51 (Fr1) Kiavino Stride Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R5659 race Aug 3. Could earn a minor cheque.

Race comment

Checked and broke when 60.5m 11th $51 (Fr8) Mista Taptoe Lombo Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5064 race Jul 20 then tired over the latter stages when 57m 9th $51 (Fr5) Mickee Cullen Tamworth 1980m (2:00.4) R5260 race Jul 25. Must improve.
