Newcastle Race 9 - Skyfall Estate Pace
BODYLINE (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and rates a big chance in a similar assignment. JEFFCOATE (5) has raced two times this campaign and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Produced yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1609m here, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Meets a comparable field and he can find winning ways. SLINGSHOT (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this venue over 1609m. Must be included. MEGS MONARO (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at this circuit over 1609m. Hard to ignore winning form.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Shadow Eclipse at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 46 on April 7 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Johnny Dee at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on April 11 at $3.80. Big chance with the aid of the ace draw.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 2nd- beaten 5 m by Shadow Eclipse (1:57.30) in NR up to 46 on April 7 at $81. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 22 m by Sinbinned (1:54.60) in NR 47 to 50 on March 17 at $151. Would rather see in something easier.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Megs Monaro at this track over 1609m NR up to 47 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at this track over 2030m same class on April 4. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Going okay so keep him safe.
