Newcastle Race 3 - Barastoc Pace
TOMAHAWK BART (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at Menangle, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope based on that recent effort. STORMY WOODS (7) scored by 1.2 metres at Mt Gambier over 1780m last start, the second win from his past three appearances. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Must raise the bar but another win is on the cards. BETTERTHANFEDERER (2) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track. Should run a big race. OUR IDEAL DREAM (4) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2030m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Swell Time at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 13 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Ryans Gangster at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 21 at $12. Can retain the good form.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Baltusrol at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on February 28 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Major Statement at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on March 18 at $1.75. Should be in the mix again.
