Newcastle Race 8

The Tab App Pace

Stake: $7,907

BAT MATSON (9) comes through the Regional Championships where he was fifth from a wide draw in the final after a third in the heats, a result that gave him three placings in a row at this venue. Enjoys a class drop and draws for a trail so looks a strong chance if he gets the gaps. MCCRIKEY NZ (2) came from a wider barrier for third the last time he raced here last month. Finished third at his most recent outing at Tamworth and has the benefit of another good draw. CONSTANTINA (8) has come from the back row in all four outings so far this campaign and while she starts from a wide barrier she'll be race fit now and goes well at this circuit and distance. NEXT TO ME NZ (1) was a winner from wider here last month and should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 2030m at this track was 9th-16.6 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Grosso Naso (2:26.80) in NR up to 70 on December 5 at $41. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 2030m at this track was 6th-8.14 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Princess Mickayla (2:27.20) in 3yo+ NR up to 70 on November 21 at $6. This looks winnable.
