Newcastle Race 3 - Ave Technologies Newcastle Mile 27 Feb Pace
OUR ULTIMATE MAY NZ (10) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres after racing four-back on the fence into the turn. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Leading hope if she is at her best. CARPENTER (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 20 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to be prominent. LORD JAYDO (9) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at Tamworth. COULDNT CATCH HIM (7) enjoys a class drop from the city and has claims off a second from a wide barrier here two back.

Resuming after a layoff of 15 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course when ninth at very big odds behind Bling The Kash. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 40 m by Wanted Poster (1:56.50) in 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $9. At the previous start 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 9 m by Barrys Rose (1:57.90) in NR up to 47 on January 28 at $81. Certainly worth another chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Barrys Rose at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 47 on January 28 at $11. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Wanted Poster at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 9 at $6.50. Will be right in the thick of things.
