Newcastle Race 4 - Win 250,000 With Betmgm's Golden Goals Restricted Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
PORTMAN BLUE (1) bids to turn two placed efforts into a win. Placed third on debut attempting a Lingfield Park AW novice race before filling the same spot in a Kempton Park AW novice race. Major player. CLONQUEST (3) was fifth providing first career appearance here before improving to finish runner-up in a course and distance maiden contest last time out. May go one better. SUPREME LILLIA (9) placed third on most recent and only outing tackling a track and trip maiden during November. Interesting following an elongated break. BLUE MANTLE (2) resumes after a 300 day absence. Previously placed third at Hamilton Park. Not discounted. Something for the Multiples: COTAI EYE JOE (4)

Second-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Kempton Park All Weather on February 18 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Comic Hero carrying 61kg at $5.50. Close to a win and should prove hard to beat.
