Newcastle Race 2 - Happy Birthday Deano Pace
GIRLSGOTCURLS (6) was disqualified when well fancied here last time but had been good from back row draws in her previous two outings at Tamworth. Proven at this circuit and distance and is up to winning this if things go her way. GARRYS LARRY (3) drew deep and raced three wide but stuck on to finish fourth last start at this circuit and distance. Capable of playing a major role aided by a lower barrier. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (8) may need things to go her way from a very wide starting position but has been good without luck at her last couple here, copping a check and breaking when midfield last week and placing despite being held up two back. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (5) could get into the finish in this line-up.

Last start was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Ripstone Snorter at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 48 on February 6 at $4.80. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.09 beaten 4.5 m by Barrys Rose (1:57.90) in NR up to 47 on January 28 at $2.60. Draws wide but with even luck can play a major role.
