Newcastle Race 7 - Alabar Australia Pace
NEED FOUR SPEED (9) looks close to a win after placing in his last three outings, last time tracking the leader and chasing well for second over this distance and just 1.6 metres from the winner. Draws for a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps he can take this out. FRANKIROMAR (8) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months but looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but look for a good return. PIXIEBELLE (1) is building in fitness and produced a good effort last start, coming from the back row for third at this circuit and distance. THE OCEAN SPIRIT NZ (2) will strip fitter for a midfield finish when resuming and is aided by a better draw.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Two Cracked Corn at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on May 8 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Rocknroll Rocket at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on May 15 at $10. Bursting to win one and gets his chance.
