Newcastle Race 6 - Pelman Power Pace
SLINGSHOT (9) overcame a wide barrier to win here two back then again drew wide when runner-up last week. Draws for a trail and is going well so if the gaps come he could be hard to hold out. SHADOW ECLIPSE (10) could be close to a win after placing in two of his last three starts. Turned in a good effort last time out when third at this circuit and distance. He can play a big role. OUR ART CHRISTIAN (4) is better drawn having come from wider in both outings since winning from this barrier. POPSTAROMAR (2) was held up from a back row barrier last start but was consistent prior and should get her chance from a favourable draw.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Johnny Dee at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 41 on February 10 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Crackabrie at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on February 14 at $6. Has the ability to take this out.
