Newcastle Race 7

Tooheys 2Yo Pace

Prize Money: $11,832

PASSION AND PAIN (8) recorded his second win from the past four outings when he found the lead and went on to score by 2 metres at this circuit and distance last start. Has to contend with a wide draw but has the speed to offset that so can make it back-to-back wins. DISTURBANCE (1) is a colt by leading sire Captaintreacherous on debut for the Blake Fitzpatrick stable. Has been trialling well at Menangle, placing in his last two hitouts and he has the benefit of the ace draw. NO GOOD REASON (4) drops in grade off a Gold Tiara heat and had kicked off her career with back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance. BETTOR ELEMENTS (7) draws wide but has been solid in two outings since a debut win so include.

Showed ability the run before when he was well back before the turn; won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (1:57.20) beating Pretty Privilege in 2yo NR up to 55 on March 28 at $6.50 at the bell was 4th-7.2.

In good form. Last start won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:57.30) beating Ferocious Lover in 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.4. Good enough to overcome the wide draw and win again.
