Newcastle Race 4 - Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 3)
BIBENDUM (1) improved from a tenth in a Wolverhampton handicap when missing out on the placings finishing fourth. Holds winning form at this venue and will be thereabouts. RAJSTAR (4) makes handicap debut. Yet to win in three starts. Finished fifth over 1800m at this course attempting a novice event on most recent appearance and down in journey holds potential. SPUN TO GOLD (3) failed to place last four outings including finishing last of seven tackling track and trip. Warrants thought as improvement expected. YAAHOBBY (8) makes some attraction from bottom of the weights. Finished second two starts back.
