Newcastle Race 9 - Nifty's 300 Pace
NEXT TO ME NZ (9) has been competitive of late and made it back-to-back placings when 5.4 metres from the winner in second after racing parked at this venue last week. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps could break through. DEECEE ROCKIN (2) came from the back row when winning here last month and drew there again when edged out by a nose on Monday. The good draw could see him go one better. SAINT KARAMARA (3) draws well and could be ready to win again after placing in two of her last three outings at this circuit. BRING YOUR BEST (7) draws wider but should be respected after winning here on Monday.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Sinbinned at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on April 2 at $31. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Bring Your Best at this track over 1609m in a NR 44 to 50 on April 6 at $8. Nice effort last time. Draws well so is one of the main contenders.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Penurious at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 48 on March 28 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sinbinned at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on April 2 at $13. Nice effort last time. Aided by a good draw so is a chance to break through.
