Newcastle Race 5 - Alabar Australia Pace
SUGAR PIE HONEY (1) has yet to find her best this time in but has been tackling the good mares so this is a big class drop. Group 1 winner who scored the only time she raced here. The ace draw gives her every chance to show her best. LIGHT ME UP NZ (2) was tough in returning to winning form last start at Penrith, racing parked but digging deep to score by a head. A lower draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and he owns a good record here. RAVISHING SLOY (6) has finished fourth from a wider barrier in his last two outings at Menangle and owns a strong record at this distance. He is better placed as is FORCE FULL (5) who only beat a couple home last start but was racing consistently prior, mostly in the city.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 10 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:50.60) in LR No NR M on April 25 at $19. The run before was well back in the run when 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-11.46 beaten 10 m by Steno (1:53.80) in LR No NR M on April 18 at $12. Classy mare at her best and should get every chance from the inside draw.
