Newcastle Race 5

Sky Racing Active Pace

Stake: $14,198

GROSSO NASO (6) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third in the Tamworth Cup. Won the Regional Championships Final at this venue last time in. Readied with a trial win so expecting a bright start to the campaign. LACEYS LAD NZ (10) scored a win at this circuit and distance last month and could be close to another success after back-to-back placings here, the latest from this row. METALLICA MAN (7) resumes off some decent form. Proven fresh and should be ready to go off a trial win. HEZA DOOZIE (5) draws wider but has put together two wins and a second from his last three starts at Tamworth and is two from two at this circuit and distance.

Two back was well beaten into third behind American Hammer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on March 19 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Jalaneel at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 28 at $21. Close to another win.
