Newcastle Race 3 - Mitavite - Leaving Nothing To Chance Pace
LOUIE LOU I NZ (2) has been tackling stronger company at Menangle where he has finished in the first half of the field in his three outings since a close second in a Listed race. He'll enjoy the class drop and should get his chance from the low draw. DANCE WITH CARMER (1) resumed with a nice fourth at Menangle before drawing wide and working here last week. He is building in fitness and is much better served by this draw. SOUTH SEAS ROCK NZ (7) did a good job to come from the widest barrier for third at Menangle. Won his lone attempt at this circuit and distance so looks better placed. Last-start winner MAJOR REASON (5) is first up for eight weeks but scored the last two times he raced here so deserves respect.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by The Cid (1:54.10) on September 11 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 2030m at this track, beaten 16 m by Rudy Gee (2:24.70) on August 28 at $15. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start won by a head when quickly away, (Fr8) at this track (2:24.90) beating Whataboyjack in on July 24 at $7.50 at the bell was leading 5.18. In-form and could measure up again.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 12 m by Springfield Affair (1:49.90) on September 12 at $10. Progressing well. One of the key runners.
