Newcastle Race 1

Mantles Building & Landscaping Supplies Pace

Stake: $10,575

RAKADEAKS (1) scored last start by 2.25 metres at Menangle over 1609m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the strong recent effort. ULTIMATE RHAPSODY (2) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten a head, in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. MY LADY SARAH (4) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1609m here a week ago. Top-three conveyance. HOUSTON STREET (7) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this venue on May 16. Must be included.

Two back was ninth behind Louigi at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 48 on May 2 at $10. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Shadow Eclipse at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 50 on May 12 at $3.80. Looks very hard to beat.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-16.15 beaten 6 m by Beancounter (1:54.60) in NR up to 47 on May 16 at $16. Before that 3rd (Fr4) over 1980m after showing early pace at Tamworth, beaten 6 m by Bettor Cheer (2:25.50) in NR up to 52 on May 8 at $7. Maybe a place again.
