Newcastle Race 5 - Tooheys Pace
FREEDOM ART (10) will find this much easier than her last effort when midfield in a NSW Oaks heat Menangle. Form prior to that had been strong with two wins and a second from the previous three starts. Has the class to take this out. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (9) could only manage third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after victory at the previous appearance over 1760m at Narrabri. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. HES GOT THE LOOK (5) hasn't been far from the placings in the last two outings and this looks suitable. IRE OF THE DRAGON (7) is a chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this circuit over 1609m.

Didn't do much at the last run, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 10th-14.65 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Bettor Be Lucky (1:56.40) in NR 34 to 37 on April 28 at $34. Before that 8th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Halloween (1:55.90) in NR up to 37 on April 7 at $101. This looks far too tough.

Beaten favourite last start when third at this track on May 2. Won the start before at Narrabri on April 20. Going along well. Among the leading chances and can overcome the tricky draw.
