Newcastle R3 MAINLEC ELECTRICAL PACE

Race comment

Handy effort when 10.5m 4th $151 (Fr2) Smoothe Style Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R3857 race Feb 20 then ran 18.7m 7th $51 (Fr2) Meraviglia Penrith 2125m (1:59.3) R4559 race Feb 27. Unplaced in recent starts but has won in this distance range and suited in this company.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 2m 3rd $51 (Fr9) Robyn Taylor Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4247 race Feb 21 then raced wide early when 5.2m 5th $41 (Fr7) Pelican Fly Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4650 race Feb 28. Long time since his last win.

Checked when 31.5m 6th $41 (Fr2) So Jack Penrith 1720m (1:57.3) R4653 race Feb 13 then eased early when 49.5m 10th $71 (Fr4) Highland Major Newcastle 2030m (1:58.8) R4750 race Feb 24. This draw suits having won and placed from this position before.

Resuming. Beaten 13.2m 4th $8.00 (Fr1) Adira Newcastle 2030m (2:03.8) R3848 race Aug 12 then finished 25.5m 6th $34 (Fr3) Sight To See Menangle 1609m (1:55.7) 2R3541 race Aug 20. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; ran well on debut last prep and could repeat.

Race comment

First start since spell. Raced wide early, covered extra ground and hung in during the race when 50.5m 11th $71 (Fr6) Victory Valley Newcastle 1609m (1:59.4) R4354 race Aug 10 then tired over the latter stages when 67m 9th $41 (Fr2) Platinum Penny Newcastle 1609m (1:57.4) R4767 race Sep 28. Will need to improve on previous first-up efforts (0 from 5).

Race comment

Finished 6.2m 4th $151 (Sr2) White Wash Armidale 1609m (2:01.2) R3147 race Feb 23 then beaten 23m 3rd $17 (Sr2) Bongiorno Boys Tamworth 1980m (2:01.5) R4047 race Mar 5. Poor win record.

Race comment

Beaten 14.2m 8th $31 (Sr2) No Risk No Return Penrith 2125m (2:02.2) R3848 race Feb 20 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when 5m 5th $18 (Fr6) Flying Teagan Newcastle 1609m (1:59.0) R3846 race Feb 28. Did not have the best of luck last start but still not beaten far; consider.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 22.5m 6th $126 (Fr10) Highland Major Newcastle 2030m (1:58.8) R4750 race Feb 24 then failed to finish behind Bongiorno Boys Tamworth 1980m (2:01.5) R4047 race Mar 5. Take on trust.

Tightened during running when 49.5m 6th $151 (Fr2) Make Haste Newcastle 2030m (1:58.0) R4553 race Feb 21 then beaten 6m 6th $81 (Sr1) Pelican Fly Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4650 race Feb 28. Place best hope.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $2.20 (Fr1) defeating Tralee Chic 4.7m Armidale 1609m (1:59.8) R4047 race Feb 23 then raced wide early and eased early when 49.5m 6th $5.00 (Fr6) Bongiorno Boys Tamworth 1980m (2:01.5) R4047 race Mar 5. Covered extra ground early last start and in the mix on solid win two back.
