Newcastle Race 4

Tooheys Pace

Stake: $10,575

Forget the latest result of LUKE JOHN (5) when he locked wheels in a tougher race. He scored back-to-back Penrith wins last month, one from this barrier and in this grade and the other against stronger company. Rates highly with his best. IDEAL IN DREAMS (4) was held up so was far from disgraced last time at Menangle and was good when runner-up in a stronger company three back at Penrith. This is the lowest-graded race she has encountered for some time so she looks nicely placed. MAURLEN BOY (3) only missed by a head last week, adding to a good record at this venue. Draws to make an impact again. SWEET HAYLEY JANE (9) comes of the back line but is a player off a last-start win by a neck at Penrith.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Mr Teddy (1:53.50) in NR 60 to 63 on June 20 at $41. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track beaten 1.5 m by Sheza Rebel (2:29.70) in NR up to 58 on June 13 at $23. Unlikely to threaten.
