Newcastle Race 6

Tooheys Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

VILLAROCK (9) has been hard to fault of late and made it two wins in a row when racing parked but toughing it out at his latest appearance at Penrith, getting home by 3 metres. Also did some work but was too strong at Menangle prior. Draws on the back line this time but if he gets the gaps can land the hat trick. CAPTAIN DORIAN (3) was solid when midfield in a higher-graded race at his latest appearance. Looks better placed having recorded a win and a second in his previous two outings here, both from wider barriers than this. JOGALONG BLUE (4) has been coming from the outside barrier at Menangle of late but gets his lowest draw for a long time and owns a good strike rate here, winning four of nine attempts. ULTIMATE TROUBLE (5) has been freshened since a fifth from a wider draw last start and recorded a string of placings prior. Must be respected.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Bulletproof Kid at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 55 on February 27 at $15. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 2nd-2.25 beaten 5 m by Ire Of The Dragon (1:54.60) in NR 41 to 44 on February 23 at $9.50. From a low draw is expected to bounce back.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Hes My Reason (1:53.90) in NR 45 to 49 on February 23 at $71. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 1980m after showing early speed at Tamworth, beaten 25 m by Katastrophee (2:28.10) in NR up to 47 M on February 5 at $14. Unlikely to threaten.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Penrith and Menangle. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr1) at Penrith (2:02.50) beating My Ultimate Sassy in NR up to 50 on March 2 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 0.42. Can overcome the second line draw to land the hat trick.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
