Newcastle Race 5 - Pelman Power Pace
JAY OK (9) has had two months off since he worked as a beaten favourite last start at Menangle but has been kept up to the mark with a win in a city trial. Won the last time he raced here and has the ability to overcome the second line draw. LOYALIST NZ (8) has been a bit off his game of late but is well up to winning this if he was to find his best. LUKE JOHN NZ (3) has been producing some nice efforts from wider or second row barriers. Gets his chance from this more favourable draw. QUADDIE VC (7) has a good record at this circuit and distance and could be ready to show more third up.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Duke Of Scotland at Albion Park over 1660m in a No NR on November 23 at $19. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Trialling nicely and goes well fresh so keep safe.

The run prior was well back in the run when 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 35 m by Hi Manameisjeff (1:49.50) in No NR on September 27 at $81. Well up to this on best form.
