Fresh from driving his first group winner concession driver Lleyton Green will look to continue the good run at Newcastle today. 

The 18-year-old will drive the Hayden Green-trained Lavazza in race eight. 

He then has a busy day ahead at Menangle tomorrow where he will team up with trainers Dean and Kerry McDowell in four races. 

It was at Menangle on Saturday night that Green drove Jimmy Locke to victory in the Group 3 Golden Mile. 

This gave Green 93 winners in his career with 22 of those winners obtained this season. 

These results have put Green amongst the top concession drivers in New South Wales for the year.

The iForm best bets for Monday:

Newcastle best bet 

Race 7: Miss Serendipity (7)

Looks the testing material finding this easier than last time.

Newcastle next best 

Race 1: Three Chord Riff (4)

Wasn’t sharp on Friday night but previous handy trial form keeps him in contention.

Around the tracks

Canberra best bet

Race 4: Here Comes Bobby (3)

An easy winner two starts back and then did well to finish as close as he did last time after a mistake.  Looks on the up and can go close.
