Newcastle Race 1 - The Cnw Cardiff Pace
NEVER KNOW BLAZE (1) has been going well at this circuit and distance. Dug deep for a win in this grade two back then came from wider and finished second last time. Likely to get the favours from the inside draw so has strong claims. DOUBLE LINES (4) is in good form with two wins and two seconds from his last five starts at this circuit and distance. Draws wider than last week but he was only 2.5m off the winner there. Big chance. BODYLINE (6) is a player after a good effort here last start, coming from this barrier for third. DEECEE ROCKIN (9) draws to trail the top pick and could be competitive after coming from a wide barrier in stronger company last start.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.07 beaten 14 m by Double Said (1:55.20) on October 12 at $7.50.

Didn't do much last time out, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 10th (Fr3) over 1720m at Penrith well beaten by Grey Cadillac (2:06.20) on October 8 at $51. Before that 9th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 50 m by Jetasi (1:53.50) in 3yo+ on September 29 at $151. Improvement needed.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Madazalways at this track over 1609m on October 12 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Barrys Brother at this track over 1609m on October 16 at $4.60. In form and expected to play a major role.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing seventh after showing early speed, behind Smokescreen at this track over 1609m on October 12 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Miss Australiana at this track over 2030m on October 16 at $151. Could be there at the business end.
