Newcastle Race 5 - Mitavite Pace
THE CID (3) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and 7 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. DUTY OF CARE (1) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 2.5 metres at this track over 2030m. MCCRIKEY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.5 metres at Tamworth over 1980m. Something for the Multiples: MCCRIKEY NZ (6) SHEZA REBEL (4)

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.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Applied (1:54.60) in NR 64 to 70 on July 25 at $6.50. Before that, a game effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 2 m by Our Goat (2:06.70) in No NR on June 28 at $1.70. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Will be about the money.
