Newcastle Race 6 - Carmer Standardbreds 3yo Pace
HUNTER STRIDE (3) settled handy then went to the lead and fought on well to finish second in a 1720m race at Penrith last start, beaten a nose at his first run back from a spell. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets some better types this time and a win is on the cards. TOWERING FORTUNE (6) finished tenth last start, beaten 40 metres at this track over 1609m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expected to run well. THE EYE IN THE SKY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at this track over 1609m. MODERN MISCHIEF (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at this track over 2030m.
