Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace

MAJOR MICKEY (6) continued his good form when runner-up at this venue last week, beaten just a head. Draws a little wider but if things go his way he could break through for a well-deserved win. KING HIT NZ (2) drew deep last time but had some strong form prior including a win at this venue. The good draw could see him show that sort of form again. CAPTAIN GROOVE (10) has been good from this row in his last two outings at this venue, winning two back and finishing only 3.4m away last week. IRE OF THE DRAGON (1) is up in grade but hasn't been far away of late including a second from this barrier two back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on April 2 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Mister Quirk at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 62 on April 10 at $6.50. Has strong claims.
