Newcastle Race 5 - Tooheys Pace
DANIEL BOOM (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 19 metres into tenth at this track over 1609m. Starts from a far better position this time and is good enough to take out a race like this. PEPPI GRATZ (10) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 30 metres into seventh at this track over 2030m. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. WILL I AM (2) deserves consideration after his last-start fourth when resuming over 1609m at Menangle six days ago. GIRLSGOTCURLS (4) could only finish ninth over 2030m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-14.43 beaten 16 m by Vespa Stride (1:54.80) in 3yo+ 0LTW o eligible 3yo+ NR47 on March 31 at $21. At the start before 5th (Fr2) over 1740m at Bankstown, beaten 20 m by Hesharley (2:11.60) in NR 41 to 47 on March 16 at $21. Should be at peak fitness now and looks tough to beat from a nice draw.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track beaten 30 m by Grace Shannon (2:28.50) in NR up to 48 on March 28 at $3.90. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:56.60) beating Esperanza in NR up to 45 on March 19 at $2.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.48. Rates highly and expected to bounce back.
