Newcastle Race 9 - Provincial Racing Nsw Pace
SWEET ROCKY (4) is racing well having placed in two of three starts at this circuit since winning at Tamworth. Expected to perform strongly again. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (9) draw son the back row but is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 1.2 metres into second. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (3) worked from a wider barrier for a second-up win at Narrabri last-start. Draws lower and could go on with it. IRE OF THE DRAGON (6) raced parked but stuck on well for second last time. Draws wider but could go one better.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Johnny Dee at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 47 on April 25 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Fiftyshades Cresco at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 33 on April 28 at $2.60. Has claims.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Longnwindingroad at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on April 7 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Johnny Dee at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 47 on April 25 at $4.80. Rates highly and should be in the finish.
