Newcastle Race 7 - Tooheys Pace
LINE OF COURAGE (10) started a hot favourite and was too good by 4.4 metres last week, the second win from her past four outings at this circuit and distance. Draws on the back row this time but is going well enough to overcome that. BARRYS ROSE (7) added to the good form when second last week, her fourth placing in her last five outings at this venue. Draws wider but looks close to a win. DYNAMITES BEST (5) could go one better following a respectable second at her most recent appearance at Goulburn. RONNYS WATCHING (8) cops a wide draw but was good when runner-up here last week.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Sky City (1:55.00) in NR up to 45 on April 24 at $101. Before that 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at Penrith, at the bell was 2nd-2.04 beaten 13 m by Nitro Danny (2:06.20) in NR up to 48 on April 2 at $41. Improvement needed.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Tigerlicious at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 47 on April 9 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Titiwha at Goulburn over 1710m in a NR up to 45 on April 27 at $4.60. Could go one better.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Peppi Gratz at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on March 19 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Line Of Courage at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on April 24 at $5. Can improve. Draws wide but has been racing well.

Last start posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:59.20) beating Ronnys Watching in NR up to 45 on April 24 at $1.30 at the bell was 2nd-0.13. Going well enough to overcome the draw and win again.
