Newcastle Race 2 - Slick Chicks Pace
SLICK AND SUAVE (5) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 4 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. WOOPAA (4) finished fifth at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 2030m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn in a much better performance. WAT ON EARTH (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished third at Penrith over 1720m. MERRYWOOD LOU (9) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1609m at Tamworth two runs back.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Goldnglitz at this track over 1609m on May 11 at $1.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Cent For Pleasure at Penrith over 1720m in a 3yo on May 25 at $34. Likely to measure up.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Believe In Carmer at this track over 1609m on May 8 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Summer School at this track over 2030m on May 22 at $19. Leading contender.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Melfield Soryt (1:56.30) on April 4 2025 at $126. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
