Newcastle Race 5 - Barastoc Pace
SILENT FEARS (1) registered another sound performance last start when he drew on the back row and settled back but chased well to finish fifth, beaten just over 5m at this circuit. First try at this longer distance but indications are it will suit and he is very well served by the ace draw. SWEET TARA (3) added to a series of top-four finishes when she boxed on okay here last time. Another good draw can see her right in the finish. NIFTY STUDLEIGH (10) had little go to plan from a wide draw last start but won the previous two times he raced here, one of them from this barrier. Worth another chance. STAY FOOLISH (2) draws much better than when resuming last week. Hasn't missed a place at this longer distance or when second-up so looks a big improver.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on February 6 at $15. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1980m at Tamworth was 3rd-4.66 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Rocktagonal (2:24.60) in NR up to 58 on January 29 at $5.50.
