Newcastle Race 7 - The Tab App Pace
SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.1 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHARJO (1) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1646m at Maitland. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. ROCKSIE ROCK (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Menangle six days ago. TRIED AND TRUSTED (3) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

First up. At the last run he solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1646m after showing early pace at Maitland, at the bell was leading 2.2m on the pegs beaten 2.5 m by Rock Am Alyeska (2:00.80) in NR up to 48 on December 27 at $14. Nicely draw and expected to run well.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 20 m by Major Icon (1:51.70) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 3 at $41. The start before 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 3rd-9.67 beaten 7 m by Katlas Dream (1:53.20) in NR 51 to 54 on February 23 at $8.50. Nicely drawn this time and can bounce back.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 30 m by Oakie Smokeshow (1:52.20) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 3 at $71. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (1:58.40) beating Our Ultimate May in 0-1 WIN on February 23 at $2.40 at the bell was 4th-8.42.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Chevron Flies at this track over 1609m in a NR 46 to 54 on February 13 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Katlas Dream at this track over 1609m in a NR 51 to 54 on February 23 at $1.60. In fine form. Hard to beat.
