Newcastle Race 3 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Sales Pace
RICK REILLY NZ (2) was a beaten favourite last week at Penrith but that was in a higher-graded race. Looks nicely placed and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw so is worth another chance. The form of LOCHINVAR JAG (8) has tapered off since he put a string of wins together earlier in the campaign but there was merit in his effort from this barrier last start, racing parked but boxing on. Drops in grade so could return to the winners' list. SWEET ROCKY (4) raced parked and faded in the city last time but did a good job for second at Menangle prior. Go well. SINBINNED (7) was fourth from the back row last week and won two of his previous three attempts here so respect.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 24 m by Carramar Olam (1:53.30) on May 15 at $7. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (1:54.80) beating Jilliby Amigo in on May 8 at $10 at the bell was 6th-11.5. Can play a role in the finish.
