Newcastle Race 7 - Medowie Lodge / Newcastle Equine Centre Pace

NEON TIGER (3) broke last start but had made it back-to-back wins when scoring in his first outing for this yard here two back. Draws well and has upside so could be hard to stop with manners. HUNGER STRIKE (4) is back from a let-up but showed what she is capable of when she drew wide and worked but proved too good here three back. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (1) looks close to a win after placing in three of his last four starts at this circuit. Drew a few spots wider and worked but fought well to miss by a head last start. Could break through. LACHIES IDEAL (2) draws to be competitive.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track was 8th-28.32 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Pops Joy (1:55.90) in NR up to 47 on May 16 at $2.30. Showed ability the race before when he ran on from midfield and won by 7 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:30.30) beating Jacqueline Rose in NR up to 47 on May 9 at $1.70 at the bell was 3rd-4.19. Has a low draw and can bounce back.
