Newcastle Race 2 - Ave Technologies Pace
ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (1) came from wider to win at this circuit and distance last month and looks close to another success after he raced up to four wide but fought well for a 2m third last week. Should get every chance from the ace draw. ROCKNROLL ROCKET (2) made it two wins from his last six appearances when he took advantage of the ace draw a week ago, getting home by a head at this circuit and distance. Another nice draw should ensure a cosy run so could keep the ball rolling. ANTETOKOUNMPO (3) draws well and is in the mix following a fifth from the back row at his most recent appearance at Tamworth. BRING YOUR BEST (5) hasn't been too far off the placegetters since a Tamworth win last month. Include.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing seventh behind Rumour Stride at this track over 1609m on June 29 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Nitro Danny at this track over 1609m on July 13 at $9.50. Should play a major role from the ace draw.
