Newcastle Race 5

Betmgm: It's Showtime Handicap

Prize Money: $16,605

PALLAS LORD (1) bids for a hat-trick having scored by 0.75L six days ago over course and distance. Must overcome a penalty and rates a leading contender. BROKEN SPEAR (2) placed third on his two most recent starts including at this venue. Thereabouts. TURBO COMMAND (3) holds winning form tackling track and trip. Can improve from a 5L third at Southwell. Not to be discounted. BOMB SQUAD (6) warrants thought bringing two wins and three placings from the six latest attempts.

Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at this track on March 6 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Cloch Nua carrying 61kg at $7. Backs up quickly and should go well.
