Newcastle Race 4 - Tooheys Pace
MAGIC SHOOS (1) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last start over 1609m at Tamworth, adding to his minor placing the run before. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the ability to take this out. JACKS UP (3) finished tenth last start, beaten 23 metres at Tamworth over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. GROSESTAR (7) has been tackling stronger races so is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2030m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Include in all combinations. A low draw could see BETTATHANMOZARELLA (2) competitive.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Halloween at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 41 on June 2 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Rockindownunder at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on June 12 at $4.20. Can go one better from the draw.
