Newcastle Race 9 - The Tab App Pace
ROOBEE (1) finished fifth two runs ago then broke and finished a long last over 1646m at Maitland at the latest appearance. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the quality to play a major role. SLICK AND SUAVE (8) ran third last start at Maitland over 1646m, beaten 5 metres. Expect him to be prominent. RIPPIN AN TWISTIN (7) is better than his last-start eighth over 1646m at Maitland. PIXIEBELLE (2) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1646m at Maitland a week ago.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start 9th (Fr2) over 1646m after showing early speed at Maitland, beaten 65 m by Our Ultimate May (2:01.10) in MAIDEN on December 27 at $5. The run before was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr4) over 1646m after showing early speed and racing wide at Maitland, beaten 22 m by Silent Fears (2:00.10) in MAIDEN on December 19 at $11. This looks a suitable assignment.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Silent Fears at Maitland over 1646m in a MAIDEN on December 19 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Our Ultimate May at Maitland over 1646m in a MAIDEN on December 27 at $61. Rates highly. Hard to beat.

The run previous 10th (Sr4) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 55 m by Altiano (2:30.30) in MAIDEN on November 27 at $41. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
