Newcastle Race 6 - Tooheys Pace
WAR WESTERN (1) has worked his way back into winning form, leading from a couple of spots wider to score by 6.7m at this venue last week. Up in distance but has won at it before and has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw. AVENGER NZ (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he came from wider to finish 1.4 metres from the winner in third at this circuit and distance. That made it three placings on the trot so his hoof is on the till and he should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (6) is hard to knock having led from this barrier for an easy win over the mares at this circuit and distance last week, giving her three wins and two placings from her last five outings here. SWEET TARA (4) returns to the front line and is worth thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at this circuit and distance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on April 2 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Shark Dancer at this track over 1609m in a NR 51 to 54 on April 6 at $4.60. A good draw could see him back in the winners' list.
