Newcastle Race 9 - Sky Racing Active 3Yo Pace
MAC THUNDER (7) was outclassed but not disgraced through the Breeders Challenge series, twice finishing fourth in the heats. Draws wide but is much better placed at this level and won over this distance the only time he raced here. SWEET ANNE LOUISE (9) put the writing on the wall when she missed by just a nose in her second outing two back before leading to win her maiden by 7.4m here last week. Draws on the second line this time but has upside. LORD JAYDO (3) is worth thought from a good draw having come from wider for a last-start maiden win at this venue and distance. HOWITIS (2) is still a maiden but a good draw can see him add to his recent run of top-four finishes.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Charjo at this track over 2030m in a MAIDEN on October 10 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Sweet Anne Louise at this track over 2030m in a MAIDEN on October 24 at $5. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.
