Newcastle Race 6 - Hunter Signs Pace
CHARJO (7) has been racing well of late and has the hoof on the till after back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance. Came from this barrier to be beaten just a head at his latest appearance. Could go one better. JETASI NZ (8) came from the back row to win at Penrith last month and has produced some good efforts since, finishing runner-up here then fourth at her latest appearance at Menangle. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but with even luck she has the ability to find the winners' list. JILLIBY AMIGO (5) broke last time but will be fitter for recent racing and finds the lowest-graded race he has encountered so far this campaign. Could show more. KEAYANG HARLOW (1) gets the ace draw and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this circuit and distance.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Vespa Stride at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ 0LTW o eligible 3yo+ NR47 on March 31 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Peppi Gratz at this track over 1609m in a NR 40 to 43 on April 6 at $18. Solid prospects from the ace draw.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head (Fr2) at this track (1:57.40) beating Goldnglitz in MAIDEN on April 6 at $11 at the bell was 5th-8.64. Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track was 6th-11.7 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Line Of Courage (1:57.20) in MAIDEN on April 2 at $19. This may be too much of a step up.
