Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Pace
A LITTLE DILEMMA (1) had enough speed to lead from a much wider barrier then dug to dig deep to salute last start at this circuit and distance, getting home by a neck. Has the pace to take advantage of the ace draw so is capable of getting the job done again. BARRYS ROSE (2) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing second at this circuit and distance. Has won when second-up before so should be fitter and has the benefit of a lower draw so could go one better. LUCKY RICTOR (9) will be hitting peak fitness now and is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 3 metres into second at this circuit and distance. TAFL MOVE (4) is another that looks close to a win after two successive seconds here, the latest from this barrier.

Having her second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 4.89 beaten 5 m by Louigi (1:55.20) on July 13 at $8. Fitter and draws well so could go one better.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1609m after being wide early at this track was 8th-14.6 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Rocknroll Rocket (1:56.80) on July 10 at $41. Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 9th-19.2 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Rainbowsend (1:56.50) on June 26 at $61. Not keen.
