Newcastle Race 4 - Psc Insurance Pace
I BET YOU (1) hasn't had much luck in finishing midfield in two starts since scoring a win at Penrith. Led throughout on that occasion so has the gate speed to take advantage of the ace draw. Should get his chance. AMERICAN HAMMER NZ (3) did a decent job when he finished fourth last start over this distance at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Contender. LITTLE DEMON (2) has produced some solid recent efforts including a last-start fifth at Menangle and a placing here three back. They were both from wider barriers than this so can feature from the good draw. ALTA MAGACIAN NZ (4) should be peaking now and is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance here.

Showed ability the outing before when he won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (1:52.80) beating Force Full in NR up to 90 on March 6 at $34 at the bell was 6th-7.56.
