Newcastle Race 2 - Betmgm Supports Safer Gambling Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
FIVE CAY (2) progressed to record a track 1600m second 2.75L down after travelling prominently throughout. Among an easier set now and rates the one to beat. Leading contender. ELIZABETTY (7) resumed with a course 1200m seventh finishing 4L away and may come on for that outing. Incremental rise in trip suits and holds claims. Main danger. DAKOTA BREEZE (1) debuts for Archie Watson by Sioux Nation out of Carsulae and shapes as a high-potential chance. Market will provide a guide and warrants consideration. STROMNESS (3) registered a 2.25L fifth debuting here attempting 1200m and has scope to progress. Might be in the mix.

Second run back. First-up after four months led to the turn then faded second last of 8 at this track on January 1 over 1200m, 4 len behind Riley Rocks with 54kg at $19. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at this track on July 26 over 1400m, 6 len behind Sudbury Hill with 57kg at $12. Fitter and is expected to do much better.
