Newcastle Race 3 - Barastoc Pace
JIMMY STEEL NZ (1) was in the money at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she is capable of a much better performance. ROSES ARE BEST (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1980m at Tamworth. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. WALLAROY BOY (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. NOWORRIES (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.
