Newcastle Race 1 - The Tab App Pace
FAY IRENE (10) won over this distance the last two times she raced here and has been close-up in both outings since, last week coming from this row for a 2.8 metre second at Bathurst. If she gets the gaps she could return to the winners' list. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he raced parked but stuck on. Has to contend with a wide draw but had placed in three of his previous four starts here, coming from the back line for second two back. CAPTAIN GROOVE (9) had been working towards a win and achieved it here last week, overcoming a break to get home by over a metre. Draws for a trail and could go on with it. The ace draw could spark improvement from D J ROCK NZ (1).
