Newcastle Race 1 - Skyfall Standardbreds Pace
UPSTREAM (2) is in good form having recorded back-to-back seconds at this circuit and distance before a fourth in a higher-graded race last week. This suits and she should get her chance from a good draw. MY ULTIMATE COBBER (9) led and went right on with the job to score by 4m when resuming at this circuit and distance. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps he can keep the ball rolling. PELIGROSO (10) is hard to knock after winning his last two outings at this venue, one of them from this row. ROCKNROLL ROCKET (3) broke last time but recorded back-to-back placings here last month so is worth another chance aided by a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Peligroso at this track over 2030m on September 11 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Ire Of The Dragon at this track over 1609m on September 18 at $8. Can improve. Solid prospects.
