Newcastle Race 3 - Free Tips On Attheraces.com Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
GREAT BALLS O'FIRE (1) Ordinary performance when 8th last time at Newmarket. Happy to forgive that run and back in an easier grade. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. BENBECULA (2) Finished 4th last time at Redcar. Giving another chance here but up against tougher competition. Has the ability to figure. BIG RICHARD (3) Bated Breath 2yo trained by Ivan Furtado having first race start and can save some energy from the draw. Respect the betting. PERFECT GAL (10) Disappointing run when 6th last run at Haydock but gets a favourable draw. Up against stronger opponents. Down in distance. Goes close.

First time at the races 2yo by Bated Breath for trainer Ivan Furtado and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Keep your eye on the market.

Backing up quickly for this race. Odds of $126.00 and mediocre performance when 8th last start at Southwell and racing in stronger company. Likely to get back. Making up the numbers.

Was $151.00 and below standard effort when 9th last run at Beverley and facing a stronger group of contenders. Likely to settle back in the field. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Was $41.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last run at Newbury but having second career run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Very minor chance.

Odds of $15.00 and below expectations when 6th last run at Haydock but can find a nice position from the draw. Back in trip. Competing in a higher grade. Definite claims for punters.
