Newcastle Race 3

Global Brands Liquor Pace

Stake: $10,575

DANCE WITH CARMER (8) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 2.5 metres from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Primary contender based on recent form. FLARE UP (9) has been excellent of late. Scored at her latest appearance over 2030m at this track, getting home by 1.2 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE CID (3) can make the most of this good draw and didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2030m at this track last time out. OUR IDEAL DREAM (7) could only finish seventh over 1609m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Didn't do much last start, 10th (Fr3) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 25 m by Jilliby Fabio (2:03.10) in NR up to 80 on June 5 at $19. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track was 6th-12.42 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Seve (1:52.70) in No NR on May 16 at $81. Not keen.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Merrywood Tony at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 67 on May 29 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Our Special Memory at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 57 on June 6 at $13. Should be there at the business end.
