Newcastle Race 5 - Harness Racing Nsw/ Representing The Industry 2yo Pace
PRETTY PRIVILEGE (6) was close to a win before a spell of three-and-a-half months, heading to the paddock off three straight seconds at this circuit and distance. Draws wide but he'll be ready to go off two trial wins. KOJAX (10) hasn't quite performed to market expectations in recent outings but overcame a wide draw to score at this circuit and distance three runs ago so can measure up with his A-game. MCWEAPON (8) draws wide but should find this easier than his most recent attempt at Menangle and was runner-up here prior. LOCHINVAR COOGEE (3) showed improvement to come from much wider for third at Menangle last time out. Draws well and should be approaching peak fitness now.

Resuming after a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when ninth unwanted in the market behind My Ultimate Jed. Might need some time.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 8th-17.33 beaten 7 m by Tiny Prancer (1:56.00) in 2yo on July 14 at $21. Decent effort last start. Encouraging run last time and with further progress could claim his maiden victory.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Tiny Prancer at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo on July 14 at $10. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was leading by 3.82 at the bell, beaten a head by Gordons Ghost (1:57.80) on July 3 at $9.50. Draws wide but will enjoy a class drop from the city.

Resuming after a layoff of 11 weeks. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when seventh at very big odds behind Candy Girl Marley. Probably needs this hitout.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 23 m by Born To Ravish (2:06.10) on July 2 at $8.50. The start before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 6th-12.4 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Paiges Boulder (1:55.50) in 2yo on June 19 at $8.50. Worth another chance. Hasn't drawn the best again but with even luck he can do better.
