Newcastle Race 9 - Bonvilla Estate Wines Ladyship Pace
LAST FLITE (4) has the hoof on the till after placing in her last three outings. Produced yet another strong performance at this circuit and distance on Monday when she led and battled on bravely to just miss out by a neck. Expect her to go forward again from the same draw. Could break through. A LITTLE DILEMMA (5) is another backing up from Monday where she was beaten less than 5m into fourth. Came from the back row to win at Tamworth prior. Contender. SAINT KARAMARA (9) hasn't been far away in higher-graded races since a Tamworth win last month. Draws for a trail and could be dangerous if she gets the gaps. ESPERANZA (6) has claims off a win from a similar barrier here two back.

Returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into sixth behind Aiden James at this track over 1609m on November 14 at $6. Draws the inside so could make her presence felt.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.96 beaten 5 m by Mickey Be Nimble (1:56.80) on June 1 at $6. Two runs back won by a head (Sr1) at Tamworth (2:29.60) beating Try Catching Me in M on May 21 at $3.90 at the bell was 3rd-4.1. Use the win two back as a guide to her prospects.
