Newcastle Race 2 - Bonvilla Estate Wines Pace
KASBAH (2) pushed forward to lead from a wider barrier before going on to score by 2.8 metres last time out, adding to a decent record at this circuit and distance. Could take advantage of this nice draw to strike again. ROCKIN BULL (3) looks close to a win after back-to-back placings here, coming from the back row and finishing third over this distance at his latest appearance. Likely to get all the favours from this draw so could break through. JILLIBY AMIGO (1) led from wider when winning two back at this circuit and distance so can take advantage of the inside draw. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (6) must be respected after winning two of his last three starts here, the latest from a similar barrier to this.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was 2nd-4.08 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Kasbah (1:54.40) in NR 51 to 54 on April 20 at $1.70. Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.1 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (1:55.20) beating Fox Trot in NR up to 48 on April 17 at $2.15. Should get his chance from this draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Magnetic Storm at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 55 on April 24 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Antetokounmpo at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on May 1 at $4.60. Looks close to a win.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Fox Trot at Tamworth over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on April 30 at $7. Likely to be prominent.
