Newcastle Race 4 - Raging Bull Standing At Artistic Lodge Pace
QUICKSHIFT GIRL (1) has been racing well from wider or second row draws, finishing close up in all three outings since winning at this venue. Should get her chance from the ace draw. RAYS REDEMPTION (2) has been racing at Menangle where he has recorded a couple or recent seconds. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so can play a major role. SWEET ROCKY (5) draws a little wider than when a respectable second at his most recent appearance at this circuit and distance but he is working towards another win. Last-start Tamworth winner THE TAX CULLECTOR (9) draws for a trail and may be competitive.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Sweet On Lexy at Menangle over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on April 25 at $51. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle was 2nd-4.63 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Ark Sea (1:51.30) in NR up to 66 on April 14 at $18. Nicely drawn and this suits.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Princess Mickayla at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 63 on April 17 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on April 24 at $4. Major player.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following April 10 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:55.60) beating Spirit King in NR up to 58 on April 17 at $14. This race will be harder than that win. Draws wider so this looks a tougher assignment.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a head (Fr5) at Tamworth (1:56.10) beating Topsies Bling in NR up to 55 on April 16 at $5.50 at the bell was 2nd-1.8. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.
