Newcastle Race 1 - Slick Chicks 3yo Pace
WHERES MY REASON (9) led and boxed on to be beaten less than 2m last start at Penrith, her fourth placing in five starts since a win at Menangle. Won't spend a penny from this draw and if she gets the gaps she is a primary contender. MODERN MISCHIEF (2) has the hoof on the till after finishing runner-up at his last four starts at this circuit and distance, most recently missing by a head. No excuses from this advantageous draw so could break through. LAST LEXUS (1) has trialled since coming from a wide barrier last start. Solid effort for a resuming fourth at Menangle prior and should enjoy the favours from this draw. THE NINJA (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, beaten only 2m last start to follow a string of top-three results.
