Newcastle Race 5 - Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
HAYYNAH (8) finished runner-up three times in four career starts including a Wolverhampton maiden back in August. Interesting following a break now wearing first-time cheekpieces. CHAMPONIE (6) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Showcasing out of two-time winner Final Option. Worth considering. MAYBE SOON (10) missed out on the placings finishing fourth in a Southwell AW novice race tackling this trip making first career appearance. Warrants thought as anticipated to be thereabouts. NOBLE GENTLEMAN (3) is another debutant looking to have an impact. Bred by Supremacy out of Hundredsnthousands. Potential.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 5th of 8 at this track on January 1 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Riley Rocks with 57kg at $21. Second-up 6th of 8 at this track on January 22 over 1400m, 13 len behind Elizabetty carrying 60.5kg at $4.20. Tackling a deeper field this time but he can measure up.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 8th of 11 at this track on January 13 over 1400m, 14 len behind Maria Da Silva with 54kg at $201. Second-up second last in a small field at this track on January 24 over 1200m, 11 len behind Nursia with 55kg at $201. Looks tested on what we have seen so far.

Second-up. First start 12th of 14 at Navan on October 8 over 1207m, 16 len behind Kindergarten with 52.5kg at $81. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 10 at Dundalk All Weather on January 13 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Two And Two with 54kg at $21. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 4th of 12 at Southwell All Weather on January 13 over 1200m, 5 len behind Starfinch with 57kg at $67. Big chance with that race experience to prove invaluable.
