Newcastle Race 7 - Tooheys 2Yo Pace
PASSION AND PAIN (8) recorded his second win from the past four outings when he found the lead and went on to score by 2 metres at this circuit and distance last start. Has to contend with a wide draw but has the speed to offset that so can make it back-to-back wins. DISTURBANCE (1) is a colt by leading sire Captaintreacherous on debut for the Blake Fitzpatrick stable. Has been trialling well at Menangle, placing in his last two hitouts and he has the benefit of the ace draw. NO GOOD REASON (4) drops in grade off a Gold Tiara heat and had kicked off her career with back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance. BETTOR ELEMENTS (7) draws wide but has been solid in two outings since a debut win so include.

Two-year-old colt by Captaintreacherous out of The Arch Nemesis on debut. Finished third in a trial on April 8 at Menangle over 1609m. Trialling well in the city and is well served by the ace draw.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Passion And Pain (1:57.30) in 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $5. Showed ability the run before when he was well back before the turn; won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (1:57.20) beating Pretty Privilege in 2yo NR up to 55 on March 28 at $6.50 at the bell was 4th-7.2. Consider.

In good form. Last start won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:57.30) beating Ferocious Lover in 2yo NR up to 55 on April 2 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 3.4. Good enough to overcome the wide draw and win again.
