Newcastle Race 8

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 2)

Stake: $14,933

ORBITAL CHIME (6) lost out by a head placing second two starts back over course and distance before coming out on top by 0.75L to win a 1200m handicap at Southwell AW a fortnight ago. May double up. DARLO PRIDE (4) was 0.75L third in a track and trip handicap two starts back then failed to follow up when ninth attempting the journey here once more. Might bounce back. CASTAN (1) proved unable to make the frame past six outings. Finished fifth at this venue nine days ago and progress is expected. DARK KESTREL (2) holds winning form at this venue. Missed out on the placings when fourth here nine days ago. Potential.

Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track on November 26 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind King's Crown carrying 61kg at $6.50. Before that ran last of 12 at this track on November 18 over 1000m, 9 len behind Fidelius carrying 57kg at $7. Rates highly and is right in the mix again.

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at Leicester on October 28 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Forever My Prince with 63kg at $4.50. The start before that of 10 at Redcar on September 24 over 2000m, 10 len behind Mawood with 62.5kg at $51. Will need further improvement to trouble these.

Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Southwell All Weather November 21 over 1200m defeating Wichahpi with 61kg at $19. Before that 2nd of 14 at this track on November 7 over 1000m, head behind Blue Lakota with 57.5kg at $21. Back in form and looks one of the chances.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 12 at Musselburgh on November 5 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Wen Moon carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. Before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 14 at this track on October 21 over 1000m, 7 len behind Bonnie's Boy carrying 59kg at $7.50. Expect he will make amends.
