Newcastle Race Fields - 23rd Nov 2023

The recent 'first' on the card of KNOCKALTON ALLY (trap 2) grabs the attention in this field and she is fancied to get the job done once more. Alnwick Maeby (trap 3) could be clawing at the traps in anticipation of the start and would threaten if going ping. Westforth Nikita (trap 1) is collecting plenty of appearance money and makes place appeal.

SWIFT JOHN (trap 5) is regularly among the medals, which is a likeable style and a gold run is distinctly possible today. A Bit Of Lottie (trap 1) looks one of the leading prospects and can keep the selection busy. It's all about early zip with Highview Sean (trap 4), but he needs to build a good advantage.

Opportunity knocks so far as CROOKS DREAMER (trap 4) is concerned here and, if running up to his usual mark, he can get the job done. Highview Dusk (trap 1) is in tip-top form and will ask the selection a serious question with a trouble-free run. Blackhouse Finn (trap 2) makes a fair bit of appeal and won't be far away at the death.

The task ahead of WRAYSBURY DIVA (trap 3) today looks very makeable and, as such, the bookies are unlikely to be very flamboyant with their chalk. Crooks Cookie (trap 2) has a taste for success and should run another solid race. Westforth Ceejay (trap 4) couldn't be in much better shape and has a squeak.

This should be all plain-sailing for TRINITY SYDICA (trap 1) and he can leave his rivals in the choppy waters while he enjoys the luxury of the calmer seas to prevail. Kitmins Joe (trap 5) could soon be in the ascendancy meaning he would be dangerous. The recent victory of Swift Josh (trap 2) catches the eye and he shouldn't be far away.

WESTFORTH SADIE (trap 6) is sent back out to work quite quickly after her latest endeavour and she may well salute the judge first. Sonic Moon (trap 3) was not out of place on the winner's podium recently and will battle hard. Coolemount Flo (trap 2) is a runner but could be relying on the mistakes of others.

CANNY ADELAIDE (trap 5) looks better than these. Although needing the usual amount of good fortune, there'll few better bets on the card if she gets it. Ellies Teddy (trap 6) has an obvious chance and won't be far away barring accidents. Blackhousemavrik (trap 3) knows where the winning line is and shouldn't be far away at the death.

FOOTFIELD ROSE (trap 3) will attempt to leave these ice cold from the off and build up a big enough lead to fend off all challengers. The bookies tend to keep Blackhouse Buddy (trap 5) on side given his ability at this level. Sergeant Pepper (trap 6) can be thereabouts and looks a combination mixer.

The support seems unrelenting for ALNWICK TOMMY (trap 2) and he makes plenty of appeal to put these rivals to the sword. Hello Goodbye (trap 5) has been adding to the bank balance with some decent efforts and is rightly feared. Rifleman (trap 3) knows how to win and could put the cat amongst the pigeons.

If things go to plan, supporters of QUEENSLAND MAGS (trap 4) would be entitled to feel very hopeful that she can prove too good for this level of opposition. Alnwick Barney (trap 6) possesses plenty of ability for this class of race and can keep the selection busy. Chiltern Peach (trap 5) may ultimately come up a couple of places short.

PRESIDENTS DAY (trap 3) is enjoying the fame that comes with success and will be anxious to add another to his tally - this represents a chance to do so. Mylane Niamh (trap 4) has the ability to be competitive and shouldn't be far away. Altmore Midget (trap 6) is ticking over well and has the credentials to play a part.

WESTFORTH XENA (trap 6) has quite a big army of fans and they could well stick around as she is presented with a fine opportunity to get the job done. Easy Chance (trap 3) will be in there pitching at the business end if things go to plan through the early stages. Westforth Cha (trap 2) boasts a healthy record from this box location so isn't without hope.
