Newcastle Race 9 - The Tab App Pace
SKY CITY NZ (6) raced parked and worked when tackling stronger company last start so it may pay to be forgiving. Had recorded two wins and a placing in his previous three outings here. Better placed so worth another chance. BRING YOUR BEST (1) has been competitive of late, finishing in the top-four in his last four appearances. Three of those have been from the back row. Should get every chance from the ace draw. DOUBLE SAID (3) drew on the second row last time but was good here prior, drawing deeper than this and racing three wide without cover but sticking on to go under by 3m. Owns a decent record at this circuit and distance and is better served by this draw. RAINBOWSEND (5) draws wide but is worth including off a last-start win by 2 metres at this venue.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Glenn Ford at this track over 1609m NR 40 to 44 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fourth at Tamworth in NR 41 to 47 on May 7. Racing well and the ace draw can see him in the finish again.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Quickshift Girl at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on May 1 at $5.50. Performed better the start before where he won by 9 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (1:55.00) beating Barrys Rose in NR up to 45 on April 24 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 4.62. A drop in grade could see him return to winning form.
