Newcastle Race 1 - Quaff Box Handicap
PROJECT KINSMAN (8) comes off a 2nd at Newcastle over this trip, beaten 4.5L, and looks well placed in this field. SKIRT AROUND (1) was 3rd here two starts back and has shown some ability in limited runs. FALLACIOUS PROMISE (7) was runner-up at Kempton over 1609m last start, finishing just 0.5L from the winner, and is another to consider. STEEL FIXER (5) improved to 4th at Wolverhampton last time and could be around the mark. Project Kinsman (8), Skirt Around (1), and Fallacious Promise (7) shape as the main hopes based on recent placings.
