Newcastle Race 8

The Tab App Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

FORCE FULL (7) had been racing consistently before delivering a well-deserved win at Menangle last week, coming from this same draw to salute by 1.2 metres. Has won twice at this shorter distance, both times at this circuit. May prove tough to beat again. SAINT CRUSADER (4) has the hoof on the till after back-to-back placings here. Missed by just a nose two back before a third from this barrier last week. Could break through. QUADDIE VC NZ (8) came from this barrier to score last start by close 2 metres at this circuit. Owns a good strike rate at this shorter distance so is in contention again as is LUKE JOHN NZ (2) who is aided by a low draw.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Laceys Lad at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on November 7 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Quaddie Vc at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 90 on November 14 at $2. Close to a win.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr9) over 2300m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-5.69 beaten 11 m by Force Full (2:45.80) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on November 15 at $14. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 22 m win (Sr4) at Tamworth (2:21.80) beating Rouge Bling in NR up to 75 on October 30 at $3.30. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Can make her presence felt.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Menangle (2:45.80) beating Alwaysbealady in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on November 15 at $4.20 at the bell was 3rd-4.02. Recent form hard to fault and has winning claims again.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr1) over 2030m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8.76 beaten 14 m by Quaddie Vc (2:26.00) in NR up to 90 on November 14 at $6. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose (Sr1) at this track (1:53.50) beating Saint Crusader in NR up to 80 on November 7 at $4.40 at the bell was 3rd-5.25. Could bounce back.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
