Newcastle Race 5 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The World's Best Sires Pace

SEVE (5) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Menangle on April 12. This is a nice drop in class so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. RYANS GANGSTER (8) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when he scored by 2.75 metres over 2300m at Menangle. Must overcome a very wide draw. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. QUADDIE VC (6) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2030m at this track last time out. DADNDAVE NZ (9) resumes and looks ready to put his best foot forward on the back of three trials. Can feature while fresh. Something for the Multiples: QUADDIE VC NZ (6) MAJOR REASON (1)

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Caulonia Courage at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on March 28 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Dom Toretto at Menangle over 2300m in a NR up to 95 on April 5 at $12. This race appears well within his grasp.
