Newcastle Race 8 - Tooheys Pace
STELLAR STRIDE (2) has been racing at Menangle and producing some good efforts including a second over this distance two back. Has the benefit of a good draw and is ideally placed so can break through. OUR ULTIMATE MAY NZ (6) has been racing well, filling a top-four position at her last four starts at this circuit and distance including a second most recently when she came from the back row. Could break through. ASCOT SHOWGIRL (3) hasn't raced since scoring on debut five-and-a-half months ago at Tamworth but was readied with a trial and and draws well. SUMMER DELIGHT (4) made good progress to win in his second start at Dubbo. Draws wider but has upside.

Three-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when a big 3.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Tamworth (1:59.70) beating Goldnglitz in MAIDEN on September 18 at $5.50 at the bell was leading.8m on the pegs. Readied with a solid trial so looking for a good return.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Wanted Poster at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 9 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Tried And Trusted at this track over 1609m in a 0-1 WIN on February 23 at $3.60. Looks close to a win and is right in the calculations.
