Newcastle Race 6 - International Animal Health Pace
RONNYS WATCHING (1) has had a series of wide or second row draws of late but has still managed some good results, highlighted by a win three back at this circuit and distance. Back from a five-week freshen but should get his chance from the ace draw. LINE OF COURAGE (3) enjoys a handy class drop on the last attempt and was going well prior with a win and placing from her previous two outings here. Big chance from a good draw. DAZZLING GEMS (9) is still maiden but was good in finishing runner-up last time out and draws for a trail. PIXIEBELLE (10) returns after three-and-a-half months. Cops a second row draw but should be ready to go after placing in two recent trials.
