Newcastle Race 6 - Mitavite Pace
PETES CRUNCH TIME (1) finished eighth last start at Listed level in a race won by Path To Greatness over 2240m at Melton, beaten 18 metres. Drawn well so a win is on the cards. SIR CANDY CLOUD (5) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Leading hope based on recent form. MANHATTEN CHICK (9) could only manage tenth when resuming over 1609m here last start. Will be better for that hit-out. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (10) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1609m at this circuit on April 11. Can trouble the judge with luck in running.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 18 m by Path To Greatness (2:38.70) in 3yo LR No NR CG on April 11 at $151. The run prior was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle was 9th-17.13 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Sinaloa (1:52.70) in 3yo No NR CG on April 5 at $41. Watch for a far better effort this time.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 m by Melfield Soryt (1:55.90) in NR up to 58 M on April 11 at $126. Before that, a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Walter Warlock (1:56.30) in NR up to 45 on March 21 at $19. Right in contention.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was 6th-12.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 8 m by Bodyline (1:56.20) in NR 37 to 38 on March 17 at $13. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 10th-24.51 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Our Ultimate Stormy (1:54.90) in NR up to 47 on March 7 at $71. This race looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Double Said at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 43 on April 7 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Freedom Art at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on April 11 at $7. Nice effort last time. Big chance.
