Newcastle R6 NEWCASTLE HERALD PACE

Race comment

Good effort when 1.2m 2nd $1.50 (Fr3) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13 then looked good defeating Beautiful Stranger 2.5m $1.90 (Fr3) Newcastle 2030m (1:59.1) R5262 race May 4. Racing in great heart and is 2 from 2 at this track and distance; drawn awkwardly but only needs even luck in running to be winning this.
