Newcastle R7 Dfk Crosbie Pace (Sky2)

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 3.2m 5th $3.00 (Sr1) Redbelly Jack Newcastle 1609m (1:56.4) R6695 race Jul 20 then raced well when 7m 5th $1.70 (Fr8) Dynamic Archie Newcastle 1609m (1:53.7) R7095 race Aug 3. Below par past couple and could bounce back if able to lead this field without too much pressure.

Race comment

Good effort to place 2m 2nd $4.30 (Fr2) Rykov Leis Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) C7+ race Oct 24 then safely held when 9.7m 4th $26 (Fr7) Robbiewillmakeit Newcastle 2030m (1:58.1) R7493 race Jul 27. Fitter for first up run and is 2 from 6 second up.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Smithstars Lexus 1.5m $5.00 (Fr7) Menangle 1609m (1:55.3) R6692 race Jul 6 then beaten 3m 3rd $4.00 (Sr1) Dynamic Archie Newcastle 1609m (1:53.7) R7095 race Aug 3. Could need some luck from this gate but can't ignore on solid recent form.

Race comment

Sound effort when 10.7m 5th $41 (Fr9) Robbiewillmakeit Newcastle 2030m (1:58.1) R7493 race Jul 27 then raced wide early when 26m 9th $16 (Fr9) The Space Invader Menangle 2300m (1:56.2) R6393 race Aug 3. Covered extra ground early last start and expected to get a better run from a softer draw here; could be stalking the likely leader at the bell lap and hard to hold out.

Race comment

Eased early when 8.2m 7th $26 (Fr4) New York Rain NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R5593 race Jul 13 then eased early when 20.5m 10th $23 (Fr7) Dynamic Archie Newcastle 1609m (1:53.7) R7095 race Aug 3. Does not have the early speed to utilse the pole draw and not racing well enough to figure.

Race comment

Finished 23m 9th $51 (Fr2) Rain Man NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.9) R6085 race Jul 27 then beaten 5.5m 4th $8.00 (Fr3) Mondooley Heaven Newcastle 1609m (1:56.0) R5984 race Aug 3. Likely to find others better.
