Newcastle Race 7 - Ave Technologies Pace
OHWHATIWOULDGIVE (10) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings before he recorded a commanding win last time out, coming from a similar barrier to this and scoring by 12 metres at Tamworth. Big chance again. HOT CRUISE CONTROL (5) found winning form at his latest appearance, coming from the second line and scoring by 2.4 metres at Penrith. This is a little stronger but he returns to the front row. Could go on with it. WATCH ME REACT (1) has been producing some good efforts at Menangle including a win two back. Has a win and two placings in three tries here and gets the ace draw. WHEREISHE (7) owns a decent record at this circuit and distance and is a player off a last-start win by more 7 metres at Penrith.
