Newcastle Race 5 - Psc Insurance Brokers Pace
FLEUR BELLA (6) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Finished win at this track two starts back, then was competitive at her latest appearance over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten a neck into second after being handy throughout. Finds a nice race and can take this out. BE GOOD BENNY (2) has been about the mark and again performed respectably at the most recent appearance, making up plenty of ground to finish fifth over 1609m at Tamworth. Has the benefit of a good draw. Has the talent to find the winners' list. ERROL FIN (8) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago. WATCH ME REACT (7) could only finish seventh over 1609m at Menangle most recently. Easier here, and he is open to improvement. Each way value.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Tamworth, at the bell was 8th-15.4 beaten 7 m by Rockindownunder (1:59.00) in NR up to 48 on June 12 at $34. The run before 6th (Fr5) over 2030m at this track, beaten 15 m by Captain Dorian (2:28.80) in NR up to 47 on June 6 at $15. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Backs up three days after she failed to impress 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Lullaby (1:55.60) in NR up to 55 M on June 13 at $13. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track, beaten 30 m by Ozzie Corka (2:26.40) in NR up to 47 on June 6 at $26. A bold run would not surprise.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr1) over 2030m at this track, beaten 16 m by Captain Dorian (2:28.80) in NR up to 47 on June 6 at $15. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:56.90) beating Ultimate Rhapsody in NR up to 50 on May 12 at $3.50 at the bell was 2nd-0.69. Big chance to bounce back.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Tamworth, at the bell was leading 2.6 beaten a neck by Eiffel From Heaven (1:59.00) in NR up to 48 on June 12 at $4. Two runs back won by a head when quickly away, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (1:56.70) beating Mercurius in NR 42 to 44 on June 2 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-4.27. Can take this out, despite a tricky gate.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 2.25 beaten 17 m by Mammals Riddle (1:54.20) in NR 48 to 52 on June 2 at $3.40.
