Newcastle Race 7 - The Tab App Pace
SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (7) produced a better effort last start, finishing second over 1609m at this track after racing outside the leader at the bell. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the talent to take care of this field. WAR WESTERN (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Has the class to find the winners' list. ROCKSIE ROCK (4) ended last prep with a last of nine at Penrith over 2125m three-and-a-half months ago after getting checked which caused him to break. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort. LADY DELORIS (1) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish second at long odds over 1609m at this track.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Chevron Flies (1:55.50) in NR up to 55 M on February 6 at $51. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.
