Newcastle Race 2 - Ranvet/ Carbine Chemicals Pace
CAPTAIN BART (1) was brave in his first outing for the Grima yard when he drew on the back row and was forced to work when racing wide but dug in for second at Goulburn. That was his first outing for a month so he should be fitter and is better served by this draw. KASBAH (5) has had a month off since working and fading last time but the prior form was sound and he has won a trial since. Does his best work at this circuit and distance where he has recorded two wins and two placings from five attempts. ULTIMATE EMPIRE (9) is racing well having yet to miss the top-three this time in, coming from this barrier for third here last time. MCARDOM (6) is a newcomer to the Prothero yard from Victoria where he was edged out by a nose when last seen in July. Has trialled so keep safe.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into tenth behind Harleequin at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 48 on April 24 at $3.60. Performed better the start before with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2125m at Penrith was 6th-10.3m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 6 m by Nothingbutwaves (2:34.80) in NR up to 52 on April 14 at $9.50. Can be in the finish if he finds his best.
