Newcastle Race 5 - John Hunter Childrens Hospital Kids Club Pace
MICKEY BE NIMBLE (4) was out of the money two runs back at Menangle then improved sharply last start to score by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. LETSGETROWDY (1) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 35 metres into ninth at Tamworth over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this favourable draw can make amends. HEEZ REASONABLE (2) is better than his last-start run for ninth over 1609m at this track would suggest. Worth considering. WATCH AFRICANDANCE (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Backing up quickly after 9th (Sr3) over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 35 m by Thundamental (1:56.50) on June 11 at $4.80. At the previous start 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Jacqueline Rose (1:55.90) on June 5 at $41. Has the inside gate here and he is a strong winning chance.
