Newcastle Race 6

Happy 65Th Birthday Greg Frazer Pace

Prize Money: $9,792

AVENGER NZ (6) kicked off for the new yard with a win at Tamworth two starts ago before chasing a handy one when midfield over a longer distance here last week. Should be race fit third up and this looks winnable. RIPPIN RUPERT (8) won from the back row the last time he raced here and has been consistent since, placing in both a heat and the consolation of the Golden Guitar in his last two outings. Draws wide but was kept up to the mark with a trial win and drops in grade. SWEET ROCKY (10) found the going a bit tough at Menangle last time but he looks better placed having recorded three wins and a second from his previous four outings. CHEDDAR VALLEY NZ (5) must be considered after placing in his last three outings here.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Sky Blu (1:51.10) in NR up to 64 on January 20 at $34. At his previous start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2030m at this track beaten 35 m by Cool Night (2:24.80) in NR up to 65 on January 9 at $10. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Handy draw will assist so may show more.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Love Lou at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 57 on January 9 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on February 6 at $8. Rates highly. Can play a role.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 2030m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-6.11 beaten 11 m by Protagonist (2:26.20) in NR up to 58 on February 6 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 9 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Tamworth (2:25.40) beating Dual Cam in NR up to 53 on January 29 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 1.5. Can return to the winners' list.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m third behind Betterthanfederer at Tamworth over 1980m NR 60 to 75 last start. Before that was beaten 1.2 metres third again at Tamworth same class on January 16. Draws wide but this suits.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle was 7th-13.07 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Lexys On Song (1:52.10) in 4yo+ No NR on February 7 at $13. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:53.70) beating Ohwhatiwouldgive in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on January 28 at $1.95 at the bell was leading 7.08. Expecting a return to form.
