Newcastle Race 2 - Mates4harness Pace
MATT GREGORS BOY (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take this out. LUKE JOHN (8) has been racing without luck. Did a fine job last time out when third over 1720m at Penrith. The driver has some work to do again from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can be rewarded for the honest recent runs. SHEZA REBEL (3) won two runs back then her luck changed last time when she broke and finished 30 metres back in ninth over 1609m at Menangle. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is capable of turning things around. MAJOR MICKEY (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Tamworth over 1980m.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 30 m by Pandaia (1:50.20) in NR up to 85 M on February 22 at $81. Showed ability the race before when she won by 3.5 m when quickly away, (Fr7) at this track (2:26.00) beating Kissmelvis in NR up to 52 on February 14 at $3.90 at the bell was leading 1.8m on the pegs. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Luke John at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 55 on February 21 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Johnson Step at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on March 21 at $8.50. Same draw and is one of the main hopes again.
