Newcastle R7 Sky Racing Active Pace (Sky2)

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 13.5m 2nd $8.50 (Fr8) Regal Rock NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.1) R5665 race Aug 10 then solid effort when 7.7m 2nd $7.00 (Fr6) Johnny White NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5388 race Aug 16. Another useful run last start when 2nd at this track over this distance.

Race comment

Good run when 0.2m 2nd $10.00 (Fr3) Liukin NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R6192 race Aug 10 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 12.5m 8th $6.50 (Fr3) Styx Vixen NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R6374 race Aug 16. Ignore last start when unlucky in the straight and assess on placed efforts at previous two runs.

Finished 12.7m 6th $23 (Fr2) Island Banner Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R6775 race Aug 12 then eased early, covered extra ground and tired over the latter stages when 44m 9th $11 (Fr9) Johnny White NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5388 race Aug 16. Could grab some minor money.

Handy win $23 (Fr8) defeating Kiavino Stride 3m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.8) R5563 race Aug 12 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 13m 9th $18 (Fr1) Styx Vixen NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R6374 race Aug 16. Unlucky late when unplaced last start.

Eased early and checked when 18m 4th $3.50 (Fr10) Tinted Lass Newcastle 1609m (1:56.7) R4669 race Aug 3 then eased early when 8m 5th $31 (Fr9) Tinted Lass Newcastle 1609m (1:56.1) R5770 race Aug 16. Was a winner four starts back and this looks like a possible race.

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 8m 6th $51 (Fr6) Our Sequel NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.6) R5969 race Aug 12 then beaten 9.2m 7th $23 (Fr3) Tinted Lass Newcastle 1609m (1:56.1) R5770 race Aug 16. Place chance best.

Sound effort when 5.5m 5th $9.00 (Fr6) Mondooley Heaven Newcastle 1609m (1:56.0) R5984 race Aug 3 then eased early when 14m 3rd $14 (Fr10) Regal Rock NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.1) R5665 race Aug 10. A three times winner at this course and distance and turned in an improved effort last start.

Caught the eye defeating Glenn Ford NZ 2m $41 (Fr6) Newcastle 2030m (1:57.5) R5670 race Jul 20 then failed to finish behind Liukin NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R6192 race Aug 10. Gear problem and failed to finish last start.
