Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Pace
POPS SECRET (2) finished ninth last start, beaten 50 metres at this track over 1609m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the ability to take care of this field. SLICK AND SUAVE (1) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. CAROLSDIAMOND (9) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. Each-way claims. RECKLESS CONVICT (4) could only manage eighth when resuming over 1609m at this track last start. Can do better.

Last start was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Major Austin at this track over 1609m on June 12 at $8. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.87 beaten 8 m by Wat On Earth (1:56.60) on June 1 at $8.50. Among the leading chances again.

Last start 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Believe In Carmer (1:58.70) on May 8 at $51. Two runs back 9th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Line Of Courage (1:57.20) on April 2 at $31. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m after being wide early at this track beaten 40 m by Wat On Earth (1:56.60) on June 1 at $17. Two runs back 8th (Sr2) over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 25 m by A Little Dilemma (1:57.80) on October 9 at $15. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.
