Newcastle Race 5 - Mitavite Pace
MR TEDDY (1) was prominent from the outset last start and finished fifth, beaten 9 metres, in a far better performance at Penrith over 1720m. Drops in grade and has drawn well, hard to beat. THE CID (2) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. LUKE JOHN (7) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1609m at Menangle two weeks ago. Has been running without luck and is back in grade. OUR IDEAL DREAM (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on July 25.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at Penrith, at the bell was 3rd-7.15 beaten 9 m by Royal Division (2:02.80) in NR up to 80 on July 24 at $4.80. At the previous start 10th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle, beaten 13 m by Alta William (1:52.50) in NR up to 80 on July 19 at $31. Coming good it seems so worth following up.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Ashleys Blue Chip at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 75 on July 17 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Stagecoach at this track over 1609m in a NR 57 to 62 on July 25 at $5. Winning prospects.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last time. Surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 3.5 m by Applied (1:54.60) in NR 64 to 70 on July 25 at $71. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Cool Night at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on July 18 at $26. Needs to do more. Will find this tough.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Fabio at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on July 19 at $101. Raced better the start before that with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-13.06 beaten 7 m by Zahra Lou (1:55.80) in NR up to 65 on July 4 at $4.80. Should be in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Arnies Army at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 60 on July 18 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind The Greek General at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 62 on July 25 at $8. Consider.
