Newcastle R7 Tooheys Pace (Sky2)

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Caught the eye defeating Aqua Moneypenny 2.7m $4.40 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (1:56.1) C0 race Feb 25 then broke during running when 58m 7th $12 (Fr5) Straddie Newcastle 1609m (1:56.5) C0 race Mar 11. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; better for the experienced gained in his initial campaign and is already a winner at this track and distance.

Raced wide early and hung in during the race when 52.5m 9th $23 (Fr5) Pitch Perfect NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R5059 race Jul 13 then handy effort when 8.5m 4th $5.00 (Fr7) London Delight NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R5153 race Sep 6. Just out of the placings last start but draw here is a concern.
