Newcastle Race 6 - Tooheys Pace
KANENA PROVLIMA (8) was good when stepping away from the city last time, coming from a similar draw to this for a 4.5m second to Group performer Ripp in the Bathurst Mayors Cup. Strikes at 50 per cent at this shorter distance and with his A-game he has the class to take this out. CYA ART NZ (9) hasn't featured in two runs this campaign but they have been against stronger opposition at Menangle. Won the Group 1 Len Smith Mile last season and also placed in an Inter Dominion final so his best is very good. ROCKTAGONAL (5) has come from wider barriers than this for good performances in his last two outings at Menangle and scored back-to-back Tamworth wins prior. Must be included. OUR UNCLE JIM (3) has been coming from wider or second row draws and while up in grade he is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this venue.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind American Hammer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on March 19 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Petes Crunch Time at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 65 on March 28 at $9.50. Draws well so can be there at the business end.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 10th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 14 m by Nyack (1:50.10) in No NR on March 27 at $31. The run before 7th (Fr2) over 2525m at Penrith, at the bell was 7th-12.18 beaten 13 m by Ubetcha Tigerpie (3:02.50) in G3 No NR on March 20 at $34. Two-time third-up winner and finds a more suitable assignment.
