Newcastle Race 4 - Tooheys Pace

DEBONAIRE (4) brings good form from Menangle where he was runner-up last month and has finished close to the placegetters in both outings since. He is two from two at this circuit so will relish the return to this venue. STILL ROLLIN (8) pulled up with the thumps when he was a beaten favourite at Menangle last start but was flying prior, winning his first two starts after a spell to make it four wins on end. Draws wide but is unbeaten at this circuit and distance so can bounce back. OUR IDEAL DREAM NZ (6) hasn't had a lot of luck in recent outings so suspect he is going much better than the form may suggest. ESCALERA NZ (1) drops in grade and gets the inside draw so can improve. Something for the Multiples: STILL ROLLIN NZ (8)

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind Scared Stiff at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo+ No NR on March 1 at $2. Performed better the start before where he raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Tamworth (1:56.60) beating Ashleys Blue Chip in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on February 13 at $2.20 at the bell was 3rd-3.8. Expected to bounce back.
