Newcastle Race 5 - Psc Insurance Pace
GEORGIA PINES (4) is a three-year-old gelding by Bling It On from Motu Miss Lilli on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Can be right there at the business end. DEPASSANT (1) resumes here after closing his last prep with a seventh at this track on April 20. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. GOLDNGLITZ (10) ended last prep with a fourth at Tamworth over 1609m five-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. CLOSE SHAVE (2) in by a top sire and draws well for the debut so keep safe.
