Newcastle Race 5 - Mitavite Pace
KANENA PROVLIMA (4) looks close to a win after back-to-back placings, both from wider barriers and in higher-graded races. Looks well placed in this line-up and owns a decent record here so can break through. WAMBOYNEINAMERICA (5) hasn't been far off the placegetters in his last two outings at Menangle. Should be nearing peak fitness and has won four of six attempts at this circuit and distance so looks suited here. SAINT CRUSADER (2) came from much wider to place here two back then led from this barrier and stuck on okay in a last-start fifth at Menangle. WALTER WARLOCK (6) draws wider but gave a sight in leading and sticking on for second at this circuit and distance last week.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Jorge Street at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on May 9 at $41.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing eighth behind Force Full at this track over 1609m in a No NR on May 8 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Carramar Olam at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on May 15 at $5. Among the chances.
