Newcastle Race 5

Tooheys Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

FORCE FULL (4) led as favourite last start at Menangle and while he couldn't see it out he finished only 4.4m off the winner. He'll relish the return to this circuit having led from this barrier to cruise home by more than 20m two starts back. CHICAGO BART (2) was down the track last time but was racing well prior, recording three successive placings at Menangle to follow a win in Brisbane. Can show his best from a low draw. SWELL TIME (8) has had seven weeks off since a fourth in a Listed race for the mares but was kept up to the mark with a trial win and has a strong record at this circuit and distance. SURFERS DELIGHT (10) is suited returning to Newcastle having won the last time he raced here.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after a quick start, behind Guilty Party at Menangle over 2300m in a NR up to 80 on July 12 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close third behind El Camino at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 80 on August 28 at $3.70. Player from this draw.

Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 11 m by Vite Monet (1:50.70) in NR up to 80 on August 16 at $3.60. Strong claims from a low draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 14 m by Sahara Breeze (1:52.00) in LR No NR M on July 19 at $151. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1609m at this track was 4th-8.55 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Dangerous Threats (1:52.90) in NR up to 90 on July 4 at $6. Rates highly.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle was 8th-13.79 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Betterthancash (1:50.90) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $71. At the start before 7th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 10 m by Caulonia Courage (1:51.20) in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $26. Certainly worth another chance.
