Newcastle Race 4 - Hunter Dingos Baseball Club 3Yo Pace
ELEGANT STRIDE (9) is a progressive filly who has put two wins together at Penrith, one of them from this row. Won the only time she attempted this circuit and distance and should enjoy a nice trail so can take the next step. RUBY ROMAR (5) made a winning return at her latest appearance a week ago, getting home by 5 metres at this circuit and distance. That was just her second start so she has scope for improvement in both fitness and experience. KIKI MEISTER (8) disappointed last time and draws wide but showed ability last season and is proven third-up so could show more. DESIGNA LABEL (7) tackled the Golden Easter Egg at Menangle last start but is better placed having won her maiden at this circuit and distance two back.

Capable of featuring from the ace draw.

Three-year-old colt by Betting Line out of Maz on debut. Showed ability when he won at Maitland in a trial on April 8 over 1648m. Trialling well and a bold showing is expected.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m fifth behind Aurora Mighty Rob at Bathurst over 1730m 3yo NR up to 58 last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres second at this track over 1609m in 3yo NR up to 60 on March 28. Solid prospects.

Last preparation only had one start before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (1:55.60) beating Threetwonine in 3yo NR up to 58 on April 10 at $11. Fitter so is a big chance of back-to-back wins.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Perfectdelight at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo No NR F on March 28 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Artistic Scott at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on April 2 at $2.30. Can play a role.

Better placed dropping in grade.
