Newcastle Race 2 - Make The Move To Midnite Handicap (Rider Restricted Race)

The last time THE CRAFTYMASTER (3) won he reeled off six in a row two winters ago. Having scored nicely at Chelmsford a week back could be primed for to follow up. Claims are obvious to see. TARBAT NESS (2) rarely delivers a poor race. Arrives having secured a victory here over course and distance last month. Worth considering as rates the main danger. CLANSMAN (1) may come on for his recent return when beaten only 1L over 2400m. Back down to a workable mark. Clear place chance. BILLY BATHGATE (4) has been very busy lately. Finished a modest fourth at Southwell on Tuesday. Minor honours look booked again.

Second run back. Comes off a 37-day let-up. First-up after seven months 3rd of 8 at this track on January 9 over 2500m, 1.0 len behind King Chaos carrying 62.5kg at $26. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on May 1 over 2400m, 9 len behind King's Scholar carrying 60.5kg at $13. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 3 len at Chelmsford February 8 over 2800m defeating Apache Eagle with 60kg at $4. The run before that 3rd of 11 at Lingfield All Weather on January 17 over 3170m, 1.75 len behind Forglen carrying 61kg at $3.80. Likely to prove hard to hold out.

Form hard to fault. Most recently eased back early on in a small field at Southwell All Weather on February 11 over 2800m, 3.5 len behind Skycutter carrying 60.5kg at $10. The start before that 4th of 10 at Wolverhampton on February 3 over 2820m, 2 len behind Word Of Mouth with 57.5kg at $10. Definite winning chance. In the right race this time and is definitely worth including.
