Newmarket Race 2 - Hallgarten Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
AFRAJ (2) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Goodwood. Will be trying to topple them late. Jockey William T Buick is a bonus. Key player. VANILLA SKIES (6) William Haggas trained 3yo by Pinatubo having first race appearance. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Watch for a sign in the market. SHAMALZA (1) First up after 33 weeks and really dug deep when winning by a nose first up last preparation at Navan. Change in trainer and matched against a less competitive field. Respect against this field. ARETI (3) Lost ground when 5th last start at Salisbury and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Will be positive in the run early. Capable of getting into the money.

First up after 33 weeks and secured a close victory first up last preparation at Navan. First race for a new trainer and will find this grade more suitable. Strong prospects in this race.

Looked good when 3rd last start at Goodwood. Great to see jockey William T Buick taking the ride. Has very good closing speed. Major player who should go very close.

Started at $8.00 and peaked on the run when 5th last start at Salisbury and good career start. Displays good tactical speed. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

On a quick back up. Started $101.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run at Yarmouth but can find a nice position from the draw. Prefer in something weaker.

Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Salisbury. Ryan Moore is a strong choice aboard. Expected to be flashing home. Should not be far away.

3yo debutant sired by Pinatubo for trainer William Haggas. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time. Watch the betting.
