Newcastle Race 2 - Soho Lanikai Standing At Medowie Lodge Pace
SUNSET STRIDE (4) finished seventh last start, beaten 8 metres at Menangle over 1609m. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. FRANKIROMAR (10) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1609m at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. CHEVRON FLIES NZ (3) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1720m at Penrith two weeks ago. DONTLETFEARSTOPYA NZ (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 7th-13.27 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Half Holiday (1:54.00) on August 21 at $12. Before that, 8th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.45 beaten 14 m by Half Holiday (1:54.40) on August 7 at $11. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 10th (Sr1) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 8 m by Time To Dance (2:05.20) on August 13 at $21.

Big chance based on that latest run.
