Newcastle Race 2 - Bonvilla Estate Wines Pace
NEED ME SOME SUGAR (1) has been racing at Menangle of late and has been coming from wider barriers but was runner-up the last time she started on the pegs last month. She can take advantage of that draw. DEPASSANT (6) recorded a third successive placing when 3.2 metres from the winner in second from a similar draw at Goulburn last week. Should be at peak fitness now and the hoof is on the till. Leading hope. SIYA NZ (2) will be fitter for a couple of starts off a spell and draws well so could show more. SASSY MIA (3) was midfield from the back row when resuming. Fitter and should not have any excuses from a more favourable draw.

The run prior 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 35 m by Kiss Me Mini (1:53.20) in 3yo+ WAlso eligible 3yo+ NR45 on December 1 at $10. Should get every chance from the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Real Temptation at Goulburn over 1710m in a MAIDEN on November 25 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Whitbys Delight at Goulburn over 1710m in a 0-1 WIN on December 9 at $7.50. In fine form. Working up to a win.
