Newcastle Race 1 - Mates4harness Pace
JOHNNY DEE (2) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2030m here. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of another bold performance. CAPTAIN DORIAN (1) was in the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished 5.5 metres away in eighth over 1609m at this circuit. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and rates a big chance if he behaves in this similar assignment. SKY CITY (4) must be considered after he finished third when resuming over 1609m at this course a week ago. COLLATERAL BEAUTY NZ (3) returns and is now with the Grima yard. Draws well and has trialled so keep safe. Something for the Multiples: SKY CITY NZ (4)

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr5) over 2030m after racing wide at this track, beaten 24 m by Rock Fisherman (2:27.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $31. Showed ability the race before when he won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:57.20) beating Bat Matson in NR up to 52 on April 25 at $4 at the bell was leading .9m on the pegs. Worth including.
