Newcastle Race 5

Barastoc Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

DANIEL BOOM (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. HALLOWEEN (2) drew wide once again last start and failed to feature, beaten 22 metres into eighth at Goulburn over 1710m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Recent efforts are not a true indication. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. YELLA (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Tamworth. WILL I AM (10) is a player with even luck from the back row.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr8) over 1710m at Goulburn beaten 22 m by Rocksie Rock (2:03.10) in NR up to 45 on April 27 at $71. The run before 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was leading by 1.52 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Gunfightersghost (1:56.20) in NR 35 to 39 on April 20 at $2. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Peppi Gratz at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on April 6 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Gunfightersghost at this track over 1609m in a NR 35 to 39 on April 20 at $7. Very hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
