Newcastle Race 2 - Virgin Bet A Good Bet Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
I C U IN MY DREAMS (4) Ran well when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Doncaster and honest performer putting a tidy record together. In good condition this campaign. Warrants a bet. LIPSTICK TRACES (6) Finished 5th last run in a hurdle at Newcastle. Capable of a strong comeback. Trainer has gone for the ear muffs on, take note. Top prospects against this opposition. VALETTE (9) First up after a break. Failed to finish in a chase at Fairyhouse on Jan 15th. First start for a new trainer. Expecting to settle positively. Exotics hope in this event. R KRISTA (7) Looked outclassed when 5th last time at Ayr. Will be positive in the run early. Could run into the money.

Fresh after a 26 week spell. Started $81.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last run at this venue but stepping up in distance. Might be ridden for luck. Few more classier types in this race.

At $301.00 unsatisfactory performance when 9th last run in a hurdle at Ludlow. Has early speed and positions nicely. Murray Dodd takes a large claim. Others are more appealing.

Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last time at Ayr. Likely to be well placed early. Marginal chance.

Odds of $151.00 and came in 8th last time in a hurdle at Newcastle. Ear muffs on could be an important change. Will be a difficult assignment.
