Newcastle Race 4 - Skyfall Standardbreds Pace

HAPPY TOO YA (4) had been racing in great heart then went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just a head from the winner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. COLOSSAL HOPE (2) resumes from a spell of three months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1609m at Menangle. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. WALTER WARLOCK (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.2 metres at this track over 1609m when fresh from a spell. WHATABOYJACK (7) cops a tough gate, but he is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Lochinvar Jag at Penrith over 1720m on July 23 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Nick Of Time at this track over 1609m on July 31 at $2.80. Should go close to taking this out.
