Newcastle Race 1 - Sky Racing Active Pace
STITCHED UP DAN (3) overcame a wider draw for a win at Penrith last month and was solid in the latest effort, making up some ground for fourth. No excuses from this advantageous draw. AVENGER NZ (6) came from the back row in a last-start win by 1.8 metres at this venue, his second success from his last four outings. KING HIT NZ (1) should get his chance from the ace draw while CHEDDAR VALLEY NZ (9) draws to trail him early and could be dangerous if he gets the gaps.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 2 m by Stealth Bomba (1:55.60) on October 2 at $2. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Karaoke King at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ on September 18 at $12. Consider.
