Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Pace

MIKI BE FREE (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Won't find this any harder and she can find winning ways. SLICK AND SUAVE (1) ran eighth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 23 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. MAIDEN CATCH (6) is a five-year-old mare from the L G McDonald yard on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Well-placed to score at her first appearance. KIARAS EPONA (3) is better than her last-start eighth over 1609m at this track. Has place prospects.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 1980m after showing early pace at Tamworth beaten 12 m by San Saba (2:29.20) on September 5 2024 at $101. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
