Newcastle Race 7

Medowie Lodge / Newcastle Equine Centre Pace

Stake: $10,575

MICKEYS RUN (5) is a two-year-old gelding by Always B Miki from Delightfullybettor on debut. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. TRIED AND TRUSTED (9) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 18 metres. Expect him to be prominent. MIKI BE FREE (10) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fifth at Tamworth over 1980m. Must be included. FRANCOS DELIGHT (8) disappointed last time when seventh over 1609m at this venue. Can make amends.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Might And Victory (1:55.70) in MAIDEN on May 9 at $81. Two runs back 7th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at Penrith, beaten 35 m by Loumia (2:07.00) in MAIDEN on May 1 at $26. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Two back was fifth after showing early speed, behind Shalamar Miss at this track over 1609m in a MAIDEN on April 11 at $126. Then a handy effort when third after a quick start, behind Grumpyshannon at this track over 1609m in a MAIDEN on May 16 at $51. Can play a role in the finish again.
