Newcastle Race 2 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Sales Pace

YESNOMAYBESO (4) finished third last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago. Big chance if anywhere near his best. KARAOKE KING (9) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres when settling to the rear on the pegs, after a modest seventh at this track the run prior. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Meets a comparable field and he can turn in a much better performance. RACING WRITER (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at Menangle last time out. SUNDAY MORNINGS (1) resumes. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 2260m at Bathurst six-and-a-half months ago.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Arnies Army at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 60 on July 18 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind The Greek General at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 62 on July 25 at $8. Will be right in the thick of things.
