Newcastle Race 3

Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Prize Money: $14,760

A tricky race with limited form on offer so a market check could prove a helpful guide. NOELAN STAR (2) made the perfect start to his career last December scoring by an impressive 8.5L a 1600m novice race here. Ticks all the right boxes to follow up. Looks hard to beat. HORU KANU (6) shaped with credit delivering all three outings last year including a decent 5L fifth contesting a 1200m novice event at this venue during August. Improvement expected up in trip and after a break. May play a role. VIPER (9) finished a not disgraced 5.5L seventh over 1400m at Doncaster two weeks ago. Open to plenty of progress switching to the AW. Might feature. Debuting third at this circuit BALMORAL BOY (3) warrants a market check.
