Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
SPIRIT KING (4) made it two wins from his last four starts when he came from the back row and raced parked but went on to score by 3.3 metres at this circuit and distance last time. This is stronger but he returns to the front line so could strike again. ULTRA BLISS (3) has not raced for four-and-a-half months but looks forward enough for the return after a minor placing in a recent trial and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. CROWN MOJO (1) has had tougher barriers of late but the ace draw could see him find the form that saw him record a string of top-three finishes at Penrith late last year. NIFTY STUDLEIGH (6) comes off a placing at Tamworth and won twice in a row here prior. Must respect.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr5) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 40 m by Cerise Rainbow (2:01.90) in NR up to 52 on January 29 at $61. At the previous start 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 8 m by Mizzz Adele (2:03.90) in NR up to 47 on January 15 at $9.50. The ace draw could see him improve sharply.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after racing wide at this track beaten 30 m by Nifty Studleigh (1:53.90) in NR 47 to 49 on January 19 at $34. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 2030m at this track, beaten 35 m by Nifty Studleigh (2:26.30) in NR up to 48 on January 15 at $15. This looks a far sterner task.

Returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Major Jarod at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 52 on October 3 at $3.40. Trialled nicely and draws well so looking for a good return.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Hot Cruise Control at this track over 1609m in a NR 48 to 52 on December 16 at $31. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Thomas Royal at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR 45 to 55 on January 23 at $19. Major player.

Decent effort last start. Can be about the money again.

At his previous start 7th (Sr1) over 2030m at this track beaten 12 m by Joans Rising Star (2:26.50) in NR up to 58 on January 15 at $5.50. Capable of more than he has shown recently.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Love Lou (1:53.40) in NR up to 57 on January 9 at $34. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 11 m by Always Thunder (1:52.90) in NR up to 58 on January 3 at $26. Not keen this time.
