Newcastle Race 4 - New South Wales Owners Association Pace
HAPPY TOO YA (7) settled close to the pace and closed well but could only manage third last start over 1720m at Penrith, failing to emulate his success at Penrith the run before. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Sure to be there at the finish. SLYX NZ (8) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 4 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. NICK OF TIME NZ (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1720m at Penrith. Should run a big race. WHATABOYJACK (10) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 2030m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Walter Warlock at this track over 1609m on July 24 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Couldnt Catch Him at this track over 1609m on July 27 at $7. Inside draw will assist and is one of the contenders.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Penrith beaten 65 m by Toolijooa Beach (2:02.30) on July 23 at $12. Two runs back won by 1.1 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bathurst (2:04.40) beating Shazadele in on July 15 at $16 at the bell was leading 1.81. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Bettor Keppel at Bathurst over 1730m on May 6 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Uncle Tiger at Penrith over 1720m on June 18 at $5. Big chance.
