Newcastle Race 5 - Psc Insurance Brokers 2yo Pace
Former Kiwi DELANEY NZ (11) is two for two in Australia. Led from a wide barrier for an easy win here first up then came from this barrier to score at Tamworth last time. Can continue to work through his grades. CHANGES (6) is going well with a Tamworth win and two placings at this venue in his three starts off a spell. Led and boxed on to go under by 1.5m on Monday. Draws wider but can feature again. OUR SWEETHEART (7) was last seen when fourth at Listed level at Menangle in May. Readied with two trial placings so could return in style. BETTOR ELEMENTS (5) may be ready to show more third up.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Steely Zac at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on July 27 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Delaney at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on August 10 at $10. Progressing well. Has upside and draws well.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th-12.35 beaten 13 m by Mcweapon (1:55.90) in 2yo on August 14 at $41. Two runs back won by a nose (Fr3) at this track (1:58.00) beating Divinely Fated in 2yo on July 27 at $41 at the bell was 5th-9.55. Might find this a bit tough.
