Newcastle Race 5 - Ave Technologies Pace
KEAYANG HARLOW (3) produced a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten after being up on the pace from the outset then finding the lead only to be cut down late. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of taking this out. BLACKMIRRA (1) modest result two starts ago at this track then again didn't measure up at her latest appearance over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 11 metres into fourth after working forward to find the lead. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and she can turn in a much better performance. DOUBLE LINES (8) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2 metres at this track over 1609m. MADAZALWAYS (9) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at Menangle on October 6.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Upstream at this track over 1609m on October 2 at $31. Then a handy effort second after a quick start, behind Reserve Bank at this track over 1609m on October 7. Shapes as one to consider.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at this track was 9th-20.91 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Double Lines (1:56.20) on October 7.
