Newcastle Race 3 - Woodlands Stud Shuttling The Worlds Best Sires Pace
ARCHIE MOTH (1) was well fancied in his first outing for the Seaton Grima yard but faded after leading. Has won a trial since and has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw so prepared to give him another chance. ELEGANT STRIDE (9) was far from disgraced when she came from the outside barrier for fifth when resuming at Menangle. Has scored here before so looks better placed and has won two of three previous second-up attempts so progression is likely. DEEBO (2) will be fitter second-up and draws well so deserves consideration after his last-start fourth when resuming from the back line at Tamworth. SWEET TARA (6) draws wide but has been about the mark of late so must be respected.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed at Penrith beaten 35 m by Goodtime Bravo (2:03.70) on September 10 at $1.90. The run before 9th (Fr2) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 9th-15.8 beaten 19 m by Yarraman Jolt (2:05.10) on August 21 at $6. Worth another chance. Draws the pegs so worth another chance.

Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Continued her steady form from last campaign first-up. Returned to racing with a was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle was 7th-17.48 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Agatha Bloom (1:52.30) in 3yo on September 15 at $31. Sure to improve on that first up effort. Fitter so expect to see the best from her now.
