Newcastle Race 9 - The Tab App Two Year Old Pace
PASSION AND PAIN (5) was beaten 5 metres as a hot favourite last time but did have to work. Had been showing ability prior, highlighted by his win in the Sapling Final at this circuit and distance three back. Give him another chance. HUNGRY BEAR (4) placed on debut then came from this barrier at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin at this circuit and distance. Has upside so could go on with it. BETTOR ELEMENTS (6) won on debut then came from one spot wider than this when solid last time out. Go well. HARMS LULLABY (1) was runner up from a very wide barrier here two back so can be competitive from the ace draw.
