Newcastle Race 2 - Tooheys Mdn Pace
MAVERICK (5) ran third last start at Penrith over 1720m, beaten 4 metres. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. KYCORDEN (2) finished seventh last start, beaten 35 metres at this track over 1609m. Expect him to be prominent. WICKED LEGEND (6) is better than his first-up seventh over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Each-way claims. ULTIMATE SHOWGIRL (7) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at this track three weeks ago.

Last start 6th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 0.7 at the bell, beaten 30 m by Decoupage (1:54.40) on August 21 at $41. Two runs back 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Major Austin (1:55.30) on June 12 at $23. Fitter and gets the ace draw so watch for a spike in form.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 35 m by Towering Fortune (1:55.60) in 3yo on July 27 at $10. The run prior 7th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 50 m by Sierra Mist (1:56.50) in 3yo on July 13 at $10. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.
