Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Pace
TIME TO DANCE NZ (2) scored by 5.5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past six runs. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. BETWEEN DECKS (7) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.2 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1720m at Penrith. Must overcome a very wide draw. Primary contender if things go his way. CLARA ROCKS (1) is better than her last-start seventh over 2030m at this track. FOUR FEATHERS (8) cops a tough gate, but is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 7th (Fr7) over 2030m after racing wide at this track was 2nd-1.39 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Kiki Meister (2:26.40) on June 19 at $5. The run before 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at Menangle was 3rd-7.13 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Isla Rochelle (1:52.80) in M on June 6 at $8.50. Rates highly on her success three starts back.

Two runs back won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (1:56.80) beating Saint Karamara in on July 24 at $6 at the bell was leading 3.03. Will find this too tough.
