Newcastle Race 5 - Tooheys Pace
OUR SPECIAL MEMORY (2) finished second last start, beaten 12 metres at Menangle over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. NEXT TO ME (3) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 17 metres into seventh at this track over 2030m. Finds a tougher race, but from a far better starting position, a win is not out of the question. JOHN MCLEAN (7) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at Menangle over 1609m. BEANCOUNTER (4) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out.

Didn't do much last time out, surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early pace at Penrith, at the bell was 3rd-6.26 beaten 7 m by Merrywood Tony (2:03.60) in NR up to 67 on May 29 at $9.50. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-4.7 beaten 13 m by Protagonist (1:52.90) in NR up to 57 on May 16 at $6.50. Hard to have on those efforts.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Miss Ari at Menangle over 2300m in a 3yo No NR F on May 3 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Sugar Pie Honey at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo No NR F on May 31 at $6.50. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
