Newcastle Race 4

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)

Stake: $25,240

SECRET TRIX (3) didn't have the best of luck last time when pulled up in a 3900m chase at Wetherby. Produced a solid second the start prior attempting 4600m at Worcester. Capable of bouncing back with a clear round. CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES (1) resumed with a good third contesting a 4000m chase at Hexham under Jamie Hamilton. Strips fitter and rates among the leading hopes. MAGHLAAK (2) improved finishing 3L fourth in a 4200m hurdle at Kelso last time and is worth considering. YOU SOME GIRL (4) impressed winning over 4810m at Perth two runs ago. Can bounce back after a fair fourth tackling the same track and trip on latest outing.

Having second run back today. First-up after six months eased back early on finished third in a small field at Hexham on October 11 over 4000m, 2 len behind I Am Max carrying 66kg at $4.50. Previously second-up won by 2.5 len Hexham on November 8 over 4000m defeating Kidman carrying 71.5kg at $3.50 in a hurdle. Can feature again after that bright return.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Useful gelding. Last outing didn't finish the race at Wetherby on October 15 over 3900m. Run before finished second in a small field at Worcester on September 26 over 4600m, a nose behind Coco Mademoiselle with 71kg at $4. On his best form is sure to prove hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start finished fourth of 7 starters at Perth on September 25 over 4810m, 6 len behind The Flying Poet with 73.5kg at $3.20. Start before won by a neck Uttoxeter on September 16 over 4700m defeating Keel Strand with 69.5kg at $9 in a hurdle. Hard to enthuse despite the small field.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker
