Newcastle Race 7 - Ave Technologies Pace
QUICKSHIFT GIRL (3) was held up so did a good job to finish third last start, beaten 4.3 metres at this venue. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a nice race and may take beating. TRIED AND TRUSTED (5) has been racing in great heart and made it three placings on the trot when he came from wider and finished second last time at Goulburn, beaten less than 2 metres. Deserves a win and could achieve it here. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (1) raced parked for a respectable second at his most recent appearance at this venue. Should get his chance from the ace draw. CHLOBRO (6) wasn't far from the placegetters last week and came from much wider to win here last month. Player.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Alwaysatthebeach at Temora over 2000m in a NR up to 47 M on January 6 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Barrys Rose at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on January 28 at $2.60. A low draw may see her hard to beat.
