Newcastle Race 2 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Sales Pace
FAY IRENE (2) finished seventh last start over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 2.5 metres, after a modest seventh at Albion Park the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. TECHY CREED (4) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing 11 metres away in third over 1609m at this track. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre and draws a touch closer to the rail this time in. HALSEY NICOLE (5) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2030m at this track three weeks ago when going forward. SINBINNED (7) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1609m at this track.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Mammals Riddle at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 52 on June 6 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Goodtime Bravo at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on June 13 at $8. Should be in the finish again.

Showed ability the run before when he won by 1.3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (2:32.50) beating Keilor Baby Shark in NR up to 50 on July 18 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 2.13. Forward performance expected.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m second behind Heza Player at Tamworth over 1980m NR up to 55 last start. Before that was beaten 1.1 metres third again at Tamworth in NR up to 57 on July 17. Should run well again off the same draw.
