Newcastle Race 4 - Barastoc Pace
KING HIT NZ (1) scored at this track two runs back and again performed impressively last time out, making up plenty of ground but just coming up short over 2030m here. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. PETES CRUNCH TIME (2) produced a better effort last start when runner-up over 2125m at Penrith, beaten 1.5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. PET KITTY (9) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this circuit. Can make her presence felt. OBADIAH DRAGON NZ (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2030m at this course two weeks ago.
