The Gardens Race 1 - @Thegardensnewcastle Mdn
CLIFTON (2) eye-catching debut run after settling well back but winding up strongly into the frame when third (23.76) at this track over 400m. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. BIRMINGHAM TIGER (1) was safely held on debut after settling well back when seventh (24.25) at this track over 400m. Can hit the frame this time. RIPPER MULWEE (7) was unwanted in betting when starting from the same box but ran very well, finishing in the minors over 388m at Gosford in a Maiden in 22.87. Worth following up. ZIPPING KAREEM (8) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Last start was on debut when he finished last over 400m at this track beaten 16 lengths (24.25) behind Call Me Julia in a Maiden on October 22. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Ran an eye-catching race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish third (23.76) at this track over 400m. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Returns from a four months spell after being tipped out on the back of a sixth (19.32) over 318m at Dubbo. Will need everything to go right.

Has only been in the placings once from seven starts. Last raced when fourth over 400m at this track eight days ago. Hard to recommend this time.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 11 lengths behind Peaky Polly over 400m. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2 length third (22.87) over 388m at Gosford. Can feature.

Finished second at big odds last time (22.80) over 388m at Gosford. Jumps from a wide draw. Cannot be ruled out.
