Newcastle Race 1 - Virgin Bet Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race) (Awt)
DOLLY DRAMA (10) placed third on first career appearance contesting a jumpers flat race over 3200m at Wetherby during November. Makes first start in three months and will be thereabouts. STATIC CHARM (8) placed third on debut attempting a Catterick jumpers flat race. Unable to follow up when fourth in a Wetherby jumpers flat race during the festive period. Expected to challenge. KILARO (1) failed to land a career hat-trick when fifth in a course and distance jumpers flat race. Can bounce back. POPALOT (5) managed a respectable third in a Market Rasen jumpers flat race. Holds potential in this event.

The start before that; favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 4 len Musselburgh on December 22 over 3100m defeating Forever Louie carrying 67.5kg at $3.50.

Four-year-old filly (Maxios - Libby Mae) making her debut. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.
