Newcastle Race 3 - Mitavite - Leaving Nothing To Chance Pace
HEEZ REASONABLE (1) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. LOUISE LUCK (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. PHAR LUME NZ (9) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can bounce back. IRE OF THE DRAGON (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Last start 4th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Two Cracked Corn (1:54.60) in M on August 14 at $4.60. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 2030m at this track, beaten a nose by Phar Lume (2:27.00) on August 7 at $8. Rates highly and deserves another chance from the low draw.
