Newcastle Race 2 - Artistic Lodge Pace
ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (3) came from wider to win at this circuit and distance three back and produced another good performance at his latest appearance when runner-up, beaten 1.6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run so has winning claims. SINBINNED (9) has been racing well and made it two wins from his last three starts at this circuit and distance when beating ULTIMATE RHAPSODY last week. Draws on the back row but if he gets the gaps he could strike again. MISTER BRILLANTE (2) rises in grade but draws well and was good in overcoming the outside barrier for a last-start win by 3 metres at this circuit and distance. SWEET TARA (4) makes her first appearance since scoring here ten weeks ago. Proven fresh and readied with a solid trial so keep safe.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Whataboyjack at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 62 on May 8 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Carramar Olam at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 63 on May 15 at $19. Draws wide but is working towards a win.
