Newcastle Race 4 - Download The Raceday Ready App Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
ZOIROS (4) continues to hold form following a strong second over 1200m at Thirsk. Placed both starts tackling the trip and possessing early speed to settle prominently rates a leading contender. SHAHIK (3) returned in good order when runner-up tackling this trip at Great Yarmouth beaten 2.25L after racing on the pace. Fitter now and set to go one better. ROCCOBEAR (2) is a well-bred debutant by Calyx out of Raoufah representing the Richard Fahey yard. Profiles as a strong chance warranting respect on debut. SLOT (5) ran above market expectations as a newcomer when second attempting 1000m at Southwell AW. Open to sharp improvement and looks a key player once again.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Haydock Park on September 26 over 1200m, 10 len behind Gentle George with 59kg at $34. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Second-up. Promising on debut second last in a small field at Salisbury on July 12 over 1400m, 11 len behind A Bit Of Spirit carrying 59kg at $7. Returned from break sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Great Yarmouth on September 16 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Division carrying 59kg at $6. Fitter and worth following up.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 16 at Thirsk on September 6 over 1200m, 2 len behind Simplify with 59kg at $6.50. Before that 4th of 10 at this track on July 26 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Sudbury Hill carrying 60.5kg at $2. Hard to beat in this small field.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 2nd of 8 at Southwell All Weather on August 25 over 1000m, 5 len behind Ophelia Grace carrying 58kg at $67. Should come on following that outing and likely to be highly competitive again.
