Newcastle Race 2 - Barastoc Pace
IRE OF THE DRAGON (6) got the job done in tremendous style last start to score by 15 metres at this track over 1609m, that run following a third two starts back at this track. Finds a tougher race, but he has the ability to test this field. ULTIMATE CRUZA (3) was expected to do a lot more last time out when fifth, beaten 8 metres, over 1980m at Tamworth. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Top 3 claims this time. NEON TIGER (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2 metres at this track over 1609m. POPS JOY (8) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1609m at this track. Stick with him.

Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 5th-15.41 beaten 13 m by Pops Joy (1:55.90) in NR up to 47 on May 16 at $126. Hard to have.
