Newcastle Race 1 - Truck & Fleet Maintenance Pace
CONSTANTINA (9) took full advantage of the inside draw when a dominant winner over 1609m at this track last start. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a similar line up so she can keep the ball rolling. AVENGER NZ (1) filled a minor placing at Tamworth two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1609m here, beaten 9 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and rates a primary contender if anywhere near his best. HES MY REASON (10) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this circuit over 2030m. Must be included. RADIANT AMBER (5) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 2030m at this course nine days ago. Top-three conveyance.

Didn't do much last time out, was well beaten after breaking at Penrith on March 20. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 2125m at Penrith beaten 8 m by Ideal In Dreams (2:36.10) in NR up to 70 on March 12 at $31. This looks out of her reach.
