Newcastle Race 8 - The Tab App Pace

OUR ART CHRISTIAN NZ (1) showed good improvement at his latest appearance when coming from a few spots wider to beaten just 1.1 metres into fourth at this venue. Will be close to peak fitness and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. NEED FOUR SPEED (6) had been racing in great heart and made it four placings in a row at this venue when he came from the back row and finished third last week. He could break through. HOWITIS (5) is building into his campaign and could be ready to deliver after he finished runner-up here a week ago. REIGN MAKER (8) draws wide but hasn't had a lot of luck since a Tamworth win three back so could do better.
