Newcastle Race 5 - South Newcastle Leagues Club Pace
MY LADY SARAH (5) finished fourth last start over 1770m at Canberra but was very competitive, beaten only 1.75 metres. She is hard to beat this time. BODYLINE (6) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 5.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. OUR ART CHRISTIAN (9) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track eight days ago. BRING YOUR BEST (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Tamworth over 1609m. Each way value.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Shadow Eclipse at this track over 1609m in a NR 41 to 43 on March 17 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Bodyline at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on March 21 at $18. With even luck is a winning chance.
