Newcastle R8 Oas Technology Group Pace

Race comment

Good effort when 3m 2nd $5.00 (Fr2) Courageous Dancer Newcastle 1609m (2:01.2) 3R4357 race Aug 16 then tightened during running and hung out when beaten 35.5m 7th $151 (Fr1) Whereyabinboppin Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) 3R4662 race Aug 24. Raced ungenerously last start but previous form consistent and well graded and better drawn here; could bounce back.

Raced well when 9m 5th $19 (Fr2) Playboy President Newcastle 2030m (2:00.9) R4249 race Aug 19 then eased early when 4.5m 4th $3.00 (Fr4) An Alliance Maitland 2044m (2:02.0) R4246 race Aug 26.
