Newcastle Race 6 - Sharp Office Pace
PAD THAI (4) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 12 metres away in seventh over 1770m at Canberra. Form prior to that had been solid. His recent effort is not a true indication. Good enough to take out a race like this. TOUGH NUT TEEJAY (6) went back from a wide gate on the front line last start and was never in the race, finishing 30 metres from the winner in sixth at this track over 2030m. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. EXPLOSIVE BRONSKI (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his first run back over 1609m at Menangle. CHARJO (7) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second at this track over 1609m.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr4) over 1770m at Canberra beaten 12 m by Uncle Craigo (2:10.50) in NR up to 48 on March 9 at $3.90. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Temora (2:) beating Hes A Terror in NR 43 to 48 on March 3 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 4. Great chance to bounce back.
