Newcastle Race 4 - Coca Cola Pace
ESPERANZA (2) was in the money at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 2030m at this track, beaten 35 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and she can bounce back straight away. ZACHAROONI (5) has not raced for four months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. EYES BEEN PATIENT (8) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. Each-way. PARALLEL (7) is worth some thought despite his last-start ninth over 1710m at Goulburn on March 30.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Sinbinned (1:54.40) in NR up to 48 on April 2 at $101. Before that 8th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 10th-20.78 beaten 18 m by Rockin Bull (1:53.80) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on March 19 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.
