Newcastle R5 SKY RACING ACTIVE PACE

Race comment

Impressive winner $2.50 (Fr7) defeating Franko Blue 7.7m Newcastle 2030m (2:00.9) R4253 race May 1 then raced well when 7.5m 3rd $3.40 (Sr2) Dothedealdylan Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R4255 race May 15. Drawn poorly but can't ignore on solid efforts at past two runs.

Raced wide early when 1.2m 2nd $2.70 (Fr8) Babyitscold Newcastle 2030m (2:02.8) R4555 race May 1 then raced well to place 1.5m 2nd $2.90 (Fr7) Dothedealdylan Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R4255 race May 15. Holding form well and stays in the mix from a soft draw.

Caught the eye defeating Mister Finnigan 3.5m $41 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) 3R4959 race Apr 28 then raced wide early when 1m 2nd $2.60 (Fr7) Dollys On A Roll Newcastle 2030m (1:58.2) R4160 race May 9. Winner of 2 from past four starts and is proven at this stage in the campaign (1 from 1).

Resuming from a spell. Eased early when 22.5m 8th $81 (Fr8) Jasper Styles Newcastle 1609m (1:56.6) C0-C1 race Jun 28 then tightened during running when 48m 10th $151 (Fr3) Mylightingfella Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R4858 race Jul 6. Will need to improve on previous first-up efforts (0 from 5).

Back from a spell. Fought on well defeating Joes Joy 0.2m $15 (Fr3) Menangle 1609m (1:56.4) 3F7116 race Feb 15 then eased early when 2.2m 2nd $5.00 (Fr6) Fire And Sword Newcastle 1609m (1:55.5) 3R4156 race Feb 21. Back from a spell and form last prep good enough to win this if ready.
