Newcastle Race 2 - Newcastle Airport Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CUBAN HEELS (2) Came in 4th last run at York. Giving another chance here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Displays good tactical speed. One of the major players. UP THE STAKES (7) Nando Parrado 2yo having first race appearance for trainer John Quinn & Sean Quinn. Market as guide. FASTHOPE (3) Mediocre performance when 5th last run at Beverley and will be dropping in distance. Deserves consideration. CAERULEUS (1) Honest race when 3rd last start at Carlisle. Maybe for the trifectas and a marginal hope.

At $19.00 unsatisfactory performance when 5th last run at Beverley and down in trip. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Racing on a quick back up. At $19.00 moderate showing when 10th last start at Ripon but having second career run. Take on trust.

At $51.00 weakened to finish 5th last start at Musselburgh but was on debut last time. Drawn nicely. This looks a tough assignment.
