Newcastle Race 2 - Family Of League Newcastle-Hunter Pace
PARTY CENTRAL (10) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 5.5 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. This doesn't look as hard, so he can take this out. CAPTAIN DORIAN (1) won at this track two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a similar lineup and he can figure in the finish. ABSTRACT ART (5) broke last start but still managed to fill a minor placing over 1609m at this track, finishing 2.5 metres from the winner. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. Live chance again in a similar assignment. NIFTY STUDLEIGH (9) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2030m at this track on March 21. Include in all multiples.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Harleequin at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 58 M on March 15 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Wattosblazeofglory at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 48 on March 20 at $6. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Ultra Bliss (1:55.70) in NR 51 to 59 on March 3 at $71. Before that was well back in the run when 10th (Fr3) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 55 m by Johnson Step (1:53.40) in NR 52 to 60 on February 24 at $34. This looks a far sterner task.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle was 6th-15.6m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Sugar Pie Honey (1:51.50) in 3yo No NR on March 14 at $7. The run prior 5th (Fr1) over 2400m after showing early speed at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-7.9m on the pegs beaten 17 m by Storms Collide (2:52.50) in 3yo No NR CG on March 1 at $31. Likely to measure up.
