Newcastle Race 4

$10 Snitty Tuckerbox Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

MY ULTIMATE CARTER (3) has not raced for five-and-a-half months but looks forward enough for the return after two trials, winning the latest. Had some decent form in city company last time in. Races well fresh and draws nicely so can make a winning return. THEMIGHTY MIKI (2) resumes from a spell of ten months after closing off last campaign in good form, winning two of his last three outings at this circuit. Proven fresh and readied with a trial win. Draws well so expect a strong showing. IM IN TROUBLE (9) has form in stronger races so can measure right up with his A-game. RACING PAULA (1) is going along nicely and is aided by the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Extreme Sea at Menangle over 2300m in a 4yo+ LR NR up to 70 on May 25 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Van Basten at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on June 7 at $8.50. Contender.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Van Basten (1:54.20) in No NR on June 14 at $81. Before that 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m after being wide early at this track was 2nd-0.7 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Van Basten (1:54.40) in NR up to 80 on June 7 at $26. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Van Basten (1:54.20) in No NR on June 14 at $2.40. At the previous start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 2nd-1.3 beaten 13 m by Captains Knock (1:51.60) in NR up to 95 on June 8 at $15. Expecting better things this time around.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
