Newcastle Race 8 - The Tab App Pace
MAYWYNS MIGHTY MAC (4) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. STEALTH BOMBA NZ (7) scored at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered when ninth at his latest appearance over 2030m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. LOUIGI (3) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m. HYKEEPMEPOSTED (9) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at Menangle on August 4.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was 8th-16.18 at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Helens Boy (1:55.40) on July 27 at $61. A big run would not surprise.
