Newcastle Race 5

Woodlands Stud, Shuttling The Worlds Best Stallions Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

MISTER QUIRK (4) was solid when midfield in stronger company at his latest appearance at Menangle. Had won three of his previous four outings, overcoming a second row draw when scoring two back at this circuit and distance. Strong claims. LOVE LOU (5) had a tough draw in a higher-graded race last start so best to overlook that result and instead assess his chances off a placing two back at this circuit and distance. KING HIT NZ (1) is racing well having placed in three off five starts here since winning at this circuit and distance. Should get his chance from the ace draw. OHWHATIWOULDGIVE (3) placed from the back row last week and won two of his previous three starts here. Player from a good draw.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2030m at this track, beaten 6 m by Princess Mickayla (2:27.00) in NR up to 63 on April 17 at $5. Two runs back won by 1.2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:24.20) beating Quickshift Girl in NR up to 57 on April 10 at $26 at the bell was 5th-7.6. Draws well so another strong performance expected.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-9.65 beaten 12 m by Rivera Lou (1:51.80) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on April 18 at $10. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head (Sr2) at this track (1:53.10) beating Major Mickey in NR up to 62 on April 10 at $8.50 at the bell was 4th-4.84. Well placed returning to this venue.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Mister Quirk at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 62 on April 10 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Radiant Amber at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on April 17 at $7. Rates highly. Can be competitive again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind One For The Rodi at this track over 1609m in a NR 63 to 67 on April 10 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Ashleys Blue Chip at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 70 on April 16 at $9.50. Can be in the finish.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
