Newcastle Race 1 - Friday Night Live With Sbk Handicap
MARIA DA SILVA (4) made it third time lucky gaining a first win attempting a 1400m maiden at this venue scoring by 0.75L improving from two disappointing performances prior. Can double up on handicap debut. ELIZABETTY (2) managed to turn two seventh-placed efforts into a 3.5L success tackling a 1400m novice event at this track. Expected to challenge once again. PINTS IN PEACE (1) produced two placings before running fifth in a 1200m Dundalk AW handicap three weeks ago. Was third at the same track prior and is interesting wearing a first-time tongue-tie. SAILOR BATT (6) cannot be discounted following a runner-up effort at Wolverhampton.

At the latest run 5th of 7 at Dundalk All Weather on January 16 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Dontspoilasale carrying 51.5kg at $3.50. The race before that 3rd of 13 at Dundalk All Weather on December 17 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Coincidental Glory carrying 63.5kg at $3.80. Certainly worth another chance.
