Newcastle Race 3 - Vale Ken Giggins

SKY CITY NZ (8) made it three wins from his last five runs at this venue when leading from a similar draw and getting home by 9 metres last week. This is a little stronger but he is going well enough to take that next step. HYDEEHO NZ (1) turned in a much better run when second up last time out, coming from the back row for third. Freshened since but won the only time he tried this distance and he is likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. LOU WILL NZ (2) is a newcomer to the Seaton Grima yard from Victoria. Draws well so can measure up. TIGERLICIOUS (6) was solid in finishing fourth at Menangle last time out and is suited returning to a circuit where she has won twice from just three visits.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Chevron Flies at this track over 1609m in a NR 46 to 54 on February 13 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind War Western at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on April 2 at $23. Strong chance from the inside draw.
