Newcastle Race 2 - Ave Technologies Pace
MAJOR ICON NZ (4) chased a handy one when third last start at Penrith, beaten 3.5 metres. Draws a few spots wider but has winning claims in this line-up. CLASSIC ANGELINA (7) showed what she is capable of when she raced wide in the middle stages before working to the front and fighting strongly to score narrowly at Penrith last week. Has to contend with a wide draw but should be race fit third-up so can go right on with the job. SOME CHEVRON NZ (6) resumes after eight months but strikes at 50 per cent when fresh and was readied with a trial placing. STARTIN TO GOGH (9) came from this row to win at Menangle last month and was good from a very wide barrier there last time. Draws for a trail and could be dangerous if he gets he gaps.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Major Reason at Penrith over 1720m on June 11 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind San Sebastian at Penrith over 1720m on June 18 at $2.50. Has winning claims.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr5) over 2030m after racing wide at this track was 9th-16.29 at the bell, beaten 9 m by The Cid (2:27.00) on June 19 at $7. At the start before solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Tamworth, at the bell was leading 0.14 beaten a nose by Far Out Ringo (1:57.10) on June 11 at $3.40. Best form puts him right in this.

Resuming after eight months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind The Greek General at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on October 31 at $4. Previous preparation first-up won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:04.30) beating Bolero in on April 17 2025 at $1.70. First-up record is strong, including three wins, so look for a good return.

Last start won by 1.3 m as favourite hunging in on scoring up, when quickly away, (Fr5) at Penrith (2:07.10) beating Chevron Flies in on June 18 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 2.71. Draws wider but strips fitter third-up and may repeat the dose.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle was 10th-21.43 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Love A Belle (1:52.60) on June 16 at $6.50.

Can improve and has to be included among the chances.
