Newcastle Race 3 - Join The Midnite Movement Handicap (Rider Restricted Race) (Div 1)
Irish raider YQUEM (9) was not beaten far in two handicaps at Dundalk last month. Finds a modest race and stepping up in distance could be worth exploring. Leading chance. DUCHESS (3) arrives in good condition with her latest effort a neck second at Southwell last week adding to a recent victory there over 2200m. Sure to be in the mix once again. VIOLETA (4) looks capable in this grade. Unable to get involved when last seen however rates a place chance. Neither TUPERO (2) and ANGELARDO (8) have seen much racing. Both have scope to improve if getting their act together. Watch the market for both.
