Newcastle Race 2 - Skyfall Standardbreds Pace
TOORAM CEE CEE (2) has been tackling stronger company at Menangle of late, recording back-to-back placings there last month. Came from the back row to win a higher-graded race than this at Penrith earlier in the campaign so looks well placed aided by a good draw. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (10) continues to race well with a string of wins and placings at this venue. Draws on the back row but placed from this barrier last month. Major player. SPIRIT KING (5) draws a little wider but is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at this circuit and distance. AVENGER NZ (4) locked wheels when midfield last time but placed in his previous three so is worth another chance.
