Newcastle Race 3 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
NOELAN STAR (2) Resuming from a spell. Had a comfortable win by close to 10L last time here and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Strong performance expected. HORU KANU (6) Fresh today after a 36 week spell. Felt the pinch late when 5th last run here and gets a favourable stall. First start for a new trainer. Should be around the mark. RECORD DAY (7) Finished 8th last time at Doncaster but having second career run. Matched against a less competitive field. Don't leave out of trifectas. LEELAWADEE (10) 3yo first starter by Lope Y Fernandez for Michael Dods. Mark Winn is a bonus. Respect the betting.

Tidy run when 3rd last time around here and was on debut last time. Has been racing in stronger company. Prefer in something a lot easier.

First up from a break. Shot away to win by a margin of close to 10L last time here and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Expect support.

In the money when 3rd last run around here and having second race start. This field likely to be too good.

Started at $13.00 and ordinary performance when 11th last start at Kempton but having second career run. Competing in a lower grade. Hard to recommend.

First up after a break. Started at $4.50 and subpar when 7th last run at this venue but fitter for debut run. Likely to settle back in the field. Won't find this easy.

Fresh today after a break of 36 weeks. Started at $7.50 and peaked in the closing stages when 5th last run at this venue. Coming to a new trainer. Could be in the mix.

At $151.00 below par when 7th last time at the track but was a debutant last start. Facing less formidable opponents. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.
