Newcastle Race 4 - Garrards Horse And Hound Pace
PRINCESS MICKAYLA (3) is working towards a win. Recorded a strong performance last week when she led from one spot wider and battled on bravely for a 2m second in a higher-graded race at this circuit and distance. Can take advantage of this nice draw. Leading hope. ULTIMATE DIVA (1) was far from disgraced when midfield from a very wide barrier at her latest appearance. Placed here prior and is well served by the ace draw. CAPTAIN BART (5) is in contention after finishing in the placings for the third time in his last four starts when beaten 1.5 metres into third at Bathurst last week. FOR ALWAYS ARDEN NZ (8) finished at the tail as favourite when resuming but did have to work. Same wide draw so may need luck but should be improved.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 8th-12.57 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Jilliby Amigo (1:55.20) on May 22 at $12. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 3 m by Carramar Olam (1:53.30) on May 15 at $19. Has the inside draw and should get every chance from there.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 4.5 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at Tamworth (1:58.90) beating Im Lord Tommy in on May 28 at $34 at the bell was leading 1.35. Two runs back 3rd (Sr2) over 1609m at Tamworth was 5th-7.93 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Limousine Cheeky (1:57.70) on May 21 at $19. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
