Newcastle Race 6 - Sharp Office Pace
HES MY REASON (3) saluted two runs back then registered a comfortable win last start, scoring by 35 metres over 2040m at Redcliffe wehn sent out as the $1.06 favourite. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender in a similar race and can record a hat-trick. WATSLUVGOTTADO (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track as the hot favourite after getting caught wide early before leading at the bell. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Big chance based on recent form. CEE WHOS BETTOR NZ (1) is better than his last-start run for eighth over 1609m at this track would suggest. Worth another chance. SMOLENSKI (7) could only finish eighth over 1980m at Tamworth most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 60 m by Mister Brillante (1:54.40) in NR 46 to 50 on February 9 at $6.50. The run before 10th (Fr5) over 1760m at Junee, beaten 80 m by When To Walkaway (2:11.60) in 2 WINs on January 19 at $13. Worth another chance. Finds the right race this time.
