Newcastle Race 7 - Psc Insurance Pace
CYAMATE NZ (10) is a newcomer to the Kerryann Morris yard from NZ where he placed from the back row when last seen 12 weeks ago and was a Cambridge winner prior. May need luck from the second row but was readied with a solid city trial and is well placed to kick off in Australia with a win. WAHAKA (4) has been producing some decent efforts from wider barriers at Menangle, racing parked but sticking on to place two back. This suits and he should get his chance from a lower draw. MAJOR REASON (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth after leading last start at Penrith and draws to be prominent again. PRINCESS MICKAYLA (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw so could be competitive.
