Newcastle R8 POWER PRODUCTION PACE

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Sound effort when 6m 2nd $2.50 (Sr2) Pembrooks Passion NZ Newcastle 2550m (1:58.1) C2-C3 race May 25 then tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $9.50 (Fr1) Jack Farthing NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.6) R7098 race Sep 6. Back from a spell and while unplaced in 5 previous fresh runs he is 2 from 3 in this distance range and worth including in the exotics.

Raced wide late and failed to get a clear run when 15.5m 9th $31 (Sr2) Comigal Albion Park 1660m (1:54.7) R5687 race Feb 1 then eased early when 10m 8th $126 (Fr5) Secret Jack Albion Park 1660m (1:54.0) C74100 race Feb 11. Safely held.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 0.2m 2nd $15 (Fr3) Double Encounter Penrith 2125m (1:57.7) R6793 race Feb 20 then checked and broke when distanced 10th $7.00 (Fr2) Love My Sister Penrith 1720m (1:55.9) R7192 race Feb 27. Good run two starts back when placed and drawn well here; winner of 3 from 5 at similar stage in the prep and warrants respect.

Race comment

Beaten 17.5m 9th $13 (Fr1) Scoob Operator NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.1) R74120 race Feb 8 then eased early when 3.7m 3rd $3.00 (Fr9) Western Heir Newcastle 1609m (1:55.8) R5974 race Feb 17. Holding form and contender on last start sound placing.

Race comment

Raced well when 9.7m 5th $8.00 (Sr2) Young Rooster Bankstown 1740m (1:58.8) R5675 race Feb 14 then solid effort when 6.5m 2nd $9.00 (Fr3) Jedi Mind Penrith 2125m (1:57.9) R6278 race Feb 27. Thereabouts in recent starts and has each way claims.

Race comment

Handy effort when 9m 10th $3.50 (Fr7) Drive The Dream NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.3) R6485 race Sep 14 then won $4.20 (Fr3) narrowly over Jonah Jones NZ 0.1m Penrith 1720m (1:55.9) R7192 race Feb 27. First up winner at her last start and has a very good overall record; also proven second up.
