Newcastle Race 4 - Nutrien Equine Standardbred Sales Pace
MAJOR REASON (8) won the last time he raced here three back and has finished within 4m of the winner in his two Menangle outings since. Draws wide but owns a good record at this distance so is well placed. SUNSET STRIDE (2) started favourite here last week but was held up and finished third, beaten 4 metres. Should enjoy a nice run from a favourable starting position so could atone. PETES CRUNCH TIME (7) hasn't been too far away in the city of late and is suited returning to a venue where he has recorded four wins and two placings from nine attempts. MR TEDDY NZ (9) looks close to a win after finishing runner-up in three of his last four outings. Draws for a trail and is a player if he gets the gaps.

Not keen on his chances in this field.
