Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
AVENGER NZ (4) has been racing well here of late. Came from wider and finished fifth at his latest appearance, beaten 4.5 metres. Placed from this barrier prior. Has winning claims in this suitable assignment. GRUMPYSHANNON (8) has been producing some good efforts at this venue, clocking in fourth last week and recording back-to-back placings earlier in the campaign. Draws out but this is the lowest-graded race he has contested for some time. WAR WESTERN (5) only missed by a neck here two back and was solid again at his most recent appearance. Go well. SWEET TARA (9) produced a decent effort from this row in stronger company last time and owns a good record over this longer distance.
