Newcastle Race 9 - Kirkwood Produce Pace
JIMMY JAMES MAGUIRE NZ (7) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well in a higher-graded race when third at his latest appearance at Penrith, beaten less than 4 metres. Must overcome a wide draw but is going well enough to win with even luck. SILENT FEARS (3) came from the back row when he scored at this circuit and distance three runs ago and has been solid since, the latest a fifth in a good line-up of three-year-olds at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance. HEIDSIECK NZ (1) has been coming from wider barriers at Menangle of late so should enjoy the inside draw. HAY THERE JOE (5) is first up nine months but was racing well at the end of last campaign and was readied with two trial placings so keep safe.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 25 m by Ideal Moth (1:51.30) on October 20 at $15. The start before 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 50 m by Petes Crunch Time (1:56.20) on October 13 at $5. Should get his chance from this draw.

Showed ability the race before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.2 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:26.10) beating Red Sapphire in on October 30 at $14 at the bell was 3rd-4.45. Draws well so is among the chances.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 10th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 9th-17.54 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Chezz Dale (1:54.60) on November 6 at $51. Before that 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at Tamworth was 2nd-0.14 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Sunday Mornings (1:56.90) on October 29 at $4.20. Prefer others.

First up. At the last run he good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 2030m at this track was 8th-14.7m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 1.1 m by Light Me Up (2:24.70) on February 6 at $9.50. Trialling well so look for a good return.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Captain Groove at Penrith over 1720m on October 29 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Lochinvar Jag at Penrith over 2125m on November 5 at $2.30. Just needs even luck from this barrier to go close.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Tamworth, well beaten by Im Lord Tommy (1:54.90) on October 29 at $15. Draws wide and may need more racing.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 23 m by Kanena Provlima (1:52.30) on November 6 at $41. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Tamworth (1:56.10) beating Bat Matson in on October 29 at $2.10 at the bell was leading 1.25. Among the exotic chances.
