Newcastle Race 1 - Psc Insurance Pace
GRACE SHANNON (2) led from wider when winning easily at this venue two back then drew on the second row and broke but still managed to place last week. Has the speed to take advantage of the good draw. MAGNETIC STORM (3) comes off a midfield effort at Menangle and was a winner at that circuit earlier in the campaign. Drew much wider in both of those attempts so is well served by this barrier. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (5) has been racing well and is worth plenty of thought after coming from this barrier for a last-start win by one metre at Menangle. ARTISTIC SCOTT (4) draws wider but did a good job for a last-start win by 5 metres at this circuit and distance.

Second up after running 9th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 25 m by War Western (1:54.30) in NR up to 53 on April 2 at $101. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Quickshift Girl at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 55 M on April 2 at $3.60. Performed better the start before where she won by 12 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:28.50) beating Roses Are Best in NR up to 48 on March 28 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 6.2. Going along well. Should get every chance from this draw.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 6th-12.96 beaten 15 m by Mcbart (1:51.70) in 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 31 at $26. At the previous start 10th (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early pace at Penrith beaten 85 m by Withdistinction (2:34.10) in NR up to 70 on March 12 at $4.60. Can improve from this draw and has to be included among the main chances.
