Newcastle Race 5

Tooheys Pace

Prize Money: $11,832

MASTER CATCH (10) has been going around against strong opposition at Menangle of late and did manage win at that venue back in March. He looks well placed dropping out of city company. FORCE FULL (8) was out of the placings but beaten 2.3m here last week. Draws wider but has bene ticking along okay and a win could be imminent. LIGHT ME UP NZ (6) draws wider than when beaten only 1.5m last week but usually races well here and has claims off a Penrith win prior. PRINCESS MICKAYLA (1) can be competitive aided by the inside draw.

Showed ability the race before when she won by 4.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:27.00) beating King Hit in NR up to 63 on April 17 at $3. The ace draw could see her competitive.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.88 beaten 1.4 m by Mr Teddy (1:54.90) in NR up to 69 on May 1 at $14. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 2.75 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Double It Harry at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on April 17 at $61. Not keen.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 23 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head (Fr4) at this track (1:56.00) beating Ravishing Sloy in NR up to 90 on May 1 at $31 at the bell was 2nd-2.5. This race will be harder than that win. Needs to do more. Surprise winner last start but draws wider.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.71 beaten 2.25 m by Laceys Lad (1:56.00) in NR up to 90 on May 1 at $9. The run previous 8th (Fr7) over 2300m at Menangle was 10th-20.35 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Dance With Carmer (2:43.90) in NR up to 95 on April 25 at $13. Draws wide but could measure up here.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
