Newcastle Race 3 - Mitavite, Leaving Nothing To Chance Pace
PETES CRUNCH TIME (3) enjoys a class drop on his last couple of attempts. Had a similar draw when scoring three back, taking his record at this circuit and distance to four from six. Looks nicely placed so can add to that impressive record. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (5) made it two wins from his last three starts at this circuit and distance when he came from the back row and scored by 4 metres last time out. Could keep the ball rolling. KING HIT NZ (1) was beaten only 1.5m from this draw here last week and placed in two of his previous three outings. Contender. GRUMPYSHANNON (2) draws well and must be respected having placed in both starts since winning at this circuit and distance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m fifth behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m NR up to 65 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres second again at this track over 2030m in NR up to 63 on April 17. Should get his chance from the inside draw.
