Newcastle Race 5 - Carmer Standardbreds 3yo Pace
WANTED POSTER (5) was beaten only 1.5m into third when resuming at Menangle two runs ago then tackled stronger company in a Breeders Challenge heat at his latest appearance. Won over this distance the only time he raced here and looks nicely placed. CENT FOR PLEASURE (3) continued her good form when she led from this barrier and scored a tough win at Bathurst last start, getting home by a head. Expect her to push forward again. Leading hope. THE EYE IN THE SKY (2) copped a tough barrier last start at Menangle but had won twice in a row at this circuit and distance prior, both from wider draws than this. GOT MY EYE ON YOU (1) is improving with racing this time in and is is well served by the ace draw.

At the start before was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 30 m by Blazing High (2:02.80) in 3yo on September 10 at $5. Draws the pegs so expect a good effort.

Backs up 3 days after failing to impress last start; 7th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle was 10th-18.2 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Addocar (1:51.90) in 3yo+ on October 27 at $9. Showed ability the run before when she won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (1:54.70) beating Towering Fortune in 3yo on October 16 at $5.50 at the bell was 5th-8.56. Rates highly. Better drawn so can be right in the thick of things.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Bathurst (2:04.50) beating Our Purple Pearl in 3yo on October 9 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 2.22. Draws well and could strike again.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 35 m by Alert Bay (1:51.30) in 3yo on October 13 at $15. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle was 2nd-0.72 at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Agatha Bloom (1:51.20) in 3yo+ on October 6 at $1.55.
