Newcastle Race 3 - Skyfall Standardbreds Pace
LEWIE KELLY (4) continued his strong form last start when he led and kept going to score at Penrith, getting home by 4.3 metres. Up a little in grade and draws a couple of spots wider but is going well enough to overcome that. CLASSIC ANGELINA (7) scored at Penrith three runs ago and was solid after racing parked when fifth at Menangle last week. Must overcome a wide draw but finds a more suitable race. MISTER QUIRK (10) may need a touch of luck from the back row but was good in finishing runner-up here last time out and is proven at this longer distance. PRINCESS MICKAYLA (8) draws wide but will find this easier than her last attempt at Menangle and had looked close to a win when runner-up in her previous three outings here.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Chogi at this track over 2030m on June 26 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Grumpyshannon at this track over 2030m on July 3 at $5.50. Can make his presence felt.
