Newcastle Race 8 - Alabar Australia Pace

NEON TIGER (7) ran seventh last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 7 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time, but he has the ability to mix it with them. IRE OF THE DRAGON (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a tougher race, but a trip to the winners' circle is not out of the question. CRUSADER MISS (6) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. BROOKESSMARTDANCER (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Menangle over 1609m.
