Newcastle Race 3 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Sales Pace
MISS BLUE STORK (2) added to her strong form when she scored by a neck at this circuit and distance last week, giving her five wins and a second from her last six starts. Up in grade but she is unbeaten here and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. GRUMPYSHANNON (1) has been racing well from tougher draws. Led from a wide barrier when he scored two back at this circuit and distance then came from the back row for third at his latest appearance. Should get every chance from the ace draw. QUICKSHIFT GIRL (5) was solid when beaten less than 5m from the back row last week and had put together a string of wins and placings prior. PET KITTY (9) draws for a trail and has claims off a placing here two back.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Lochinvar Marcello at this track over 1609m in a 3yo NR up to 60 on April 17 at $14. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 3.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (1:55.80) beating Lochinvar Marcello in 3yo NR up to 60 on March 28 at $23 at the bell was leading 2.6. Going well and should get every chance from the ace draw.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (1:54.40) beating Rocknroll Clarry in NR up to 48 on April 17 at $1.30. Two runs back won by 7 m (Sr3) at Penrith (2:35.90) beating Valdezz in NR up to 48 on March 26 at $2.10 at the bell was leading 1.09. Up in grade but a good draw could see her add to the winning streak.
