Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
PEPPI GRATZ (7) was out of the money two runs back at this track then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 7 metres over 1980m at Tamworth. Must overcome a very wide draw. Primary contender in this comparable race. LOUTHPARKSCHOONER (3) has had two runs this campaign without filling a placing. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at this track, finishing 8 metres away from the winner in fourth. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. LINE OF COURAGE (1) is worth thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1609m at this track last time out. MISS ADONIS (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1609m at this track on February 23.

Last start 8th (Fr1) over 2030m at this track beaten 22 m by Mister Brillante (2:29.00) in NR up to 48 on March 6 at $41. At her previous start 9th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, well beaten by Babling Babling (1:56.30) in MAIDEN on February 27 at $21. Can improve and has to be included among the main chances.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.72 beaten 8 m by Tried And Trusted (1:58.40) in 0-1 WIN on February 23 at $81.

Strips fitter and from an inside draw gets his chance to shine.
