Newcastle Race 7 - Harness Breeders Nsw Sapphire Series
GRACE SHANNON (10) pushed forward to lead then went on to record a commanding victory last start, scoring by 12 metres at this circuit and distance. Up in grade but if things go her way from the second line she could strike again. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (6) is going well having recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past four starts. Has been coming from wide or second row draws of late but has the speed to go forward. Primary contender. GIRLSGOTCURLS (2) hasn't been too far from the placings of late and draws to advantage. WAT EVER YOU NEED (7) can be competitive in this line-up if things go her way from a wide draw.

Showed ability the run before when she posted a big 18 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Tamworth (1:58.30) beating Truthbetold in NR up to 52 M on March 12 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 4.49. Can bounce back.

Last start was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Love A Belle at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 M on March 28 at $10. Raced better the start before that where she won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (1:55.50) beating Always Promise Me in NR up to 50 on March 19 at $5 at the bell was leading 0.56. Going along well. Leading contender.

Last start by 12 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:28.50) beating Roses Are Best in NR up to 48 on March 28 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 6.2. Can overcome the awkward draw to score again.
