Newcastle Race 6 - Cobbitty Equine Farms Pace
ALWAYS PROMISE ME (3) has been racing well and deserves a win after clocking in second at his last five starts at this venue, coming from wider to miss by 2.2m last week. The good draw gives him the chance to break through. ULTIMATE WEAPON NZ (10) did a good job to come from a wide barrier for fifth last start at Menangle. Runner-up from this row at Penrith prior. With even luck he can pose a serious challenge. ROCKIN BULL (9) was solid as runner-up here last time out. Owns a good record at this shorter distance and draws for a trail. NEXT TO ME NZ (2) is better served by this draw having come from the back line last start and was a winner at this circuit and distance prior.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.62 beaten 7 m by Ultimate Rhapsody (1:54.70) in NR up to 50 on April 24 at $7.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (1:57.40) beating Ultimate Trouble in NR up to 50 on April 20 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 0.55. Has the ability to figure prominently from a good draw.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Kasbah at this track over 1609m in a NR 51 to 54 on April 20 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Ultimate Rhapsody at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 50 on April 24 at $3.40. Has a nice draw and could break through.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Love A Belle at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 M on March 28 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Its Down To Digger at Canberra over 1770m in a NR up to 53 on April 19 at $4.80. Forward performance expected.
