Newcastle Race 5 - Coca Cola Pace
EAGLE WATCH (3) has been solid in his two outings at Menangle since a spell, finishing fourth first-up before racing wide when midfield last time. Drew wider in both of those so will enjoy this more favourable barrier. Won his lone attempt at this circuit and distance and should be close to peaking. SALLY BIGTIME (1) is in good form and looks close to a win after placing in three of her last four starts here, most recently recording a second behind a runaway winner. Should enjoy an economical run from the ace draw so could get the job done. WAVETHEBILL (7) has been racing at Menangle of late but has a good record at this circuit so looks better placed. A low draw can see a better showing from BETTERTHANFEDERER (2).

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following February 28 run. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.0 m (Sr3) at Tamworth (2:25.50) beating Vincentius Maximus in NR 55 to 65 on March 6 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-2.6. This race will be harder than that win. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

No surprise if she turned things around.
