Newcastle R3 Sky Racing Active Pace

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 9m 7th $17 (Fr3) Sheeza Malteeza Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R4868 race Aug 16 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 24.5m 4th $6.50 (Sr1) Priority To Party Maitland 2044m (2:00.6) R4054 race Aug 26. Just out of the placings last start and stays in the mix despite an awkward draw.

Race comment

Handy win $3.60 (Fr3) over The Big Dig 1.2m Newcastle 2030m (2:00.9) R4249 race Aug 19 then covered extra ground when 6.5m 2nd $6.50 (Sr2) Rocknroll Doug Maitland 2044m (1:59.4) R4951 race Aug 26. In form and drawn ideally here; likely to race on pace here and be hard to hold out.

Race comment

Handy effort when 10.5m 6th $9.00 (Sr2) Playboy President Newcastle 2030m (2:00.9) R4249 race Aug 19 then handy win $2.50 (Fr2) over Our Chance Todream 2.5m Maitland 2044m (1:59.9) R4649 race Aug 26. Registered his first win at second start this prep and likely leader here; could go on.

Race comment

Good run when 2.7m 3rd $6.00 (Fr10) The Choreographer Newcastle 2030m (1:59.3) R4653 race Jul 6 then raced wide early and hung in during the race when beaten 52.5m 9th $23 (Fr5) Pitch Perfect NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R5059 race Jul 13. Had an excuse last start and contender on narrow defeat two back.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 62.5m 12th $81 (Fr9) Golovkin Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Aug 19 then beaten 26m 7th $51 (Fr1) Awayovernight NZ Maitland 2044m (1:58.8) R5255 race Aug 26. Prefer others again.

Race comment

Finished 37m 8th $61 (Fr3) Scotlynn Jiggs NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:56.8) R5563 race Aug 12 then beaten 35m 8th $8.50 (Fr2) Awayovernight NZ Maitland 2044m (1:58.8) R5255 race Aug 26. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Finished 31m 7th $71 (Fr3) Wet My Whistle NZ Bankstown 1740m (2:00.8) R5155 race Aug 23 then beaten 20.5m 5th $41 (Fr3) Awayovernight NZ Maitland 2044m (1:58.8) R5255 race Aug 26. Not fancied.

Race comment

Eased early when 14.7m 5th $23 (Fr5) Courageous Dancer Newcastle 1609m (1:59.9) R5055 race Aug 10 then beaten 20m 5th $51 (Fr6) Western Heir Newcastle 1609m (1:55.3) R5155 race Aug 16. Minor place claims.

Race comment

Checked twice in running when 61.5m 9th $5.00 (Sr1) Yayas Hot Heart Newcastle 1609m (1:59.3) R5155 race Aug 3 then broke during running when distanced 10th $11 (Fr5) Awayovernight NZ Maitland 2044m (1:58.8) R5255 race Aug 26. Poor in both runs this prep and needs to lift.

Race comment

Eased early and tired over the latter stages when 38.5m 11th $26 (Fr5) Western Heir Newcastle 1609m (1:55.3) R5155 race Aug 16 then beaten 20.5m 3rd $23 (Fr5) Priority To Party Maitland 2044m (2:00.6) R4054 race Aug 26. Mixing form lately and need to treat warily.
