Newcastle Race 7 - Guinness At The Canny Lad Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
Plenty of newcomers which makes working out the strength of the race difficult. ORESTINA (12) got off the mark over course and distance by 3.5L six week ago. Open to any amount of improvement off the back of that effort and rates the one to beat. RUBINIO (13) wasn't disgraced on debut at Wetherby during Christmas. Shaped with considerable promise and could take a sizeable step forward. EAGLE WARRIOR (5) was a winner of his second start in a point to point. Off the track for ten months however warrants a market check. Of the newcomers it's best to keep an eye on DILRISK (4) who comes from the Nicky Richards yard.

Five-year-old gelding by No Risk At All out of Perdicilla has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Nice profile and expected to measure up.

Raced two times to date. When unwanted in the market at debut, finished sixth of 11 starters at this track on December 11 over 3400m, 13 len behind Ronnie Russet carrying 71kg at $81. Second-up finished seventh of 15 runners at this track on January 15 over 3400m, 31 len behind Ronnie Russet carrying 72kg at $151. This looks a stern test.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished win of 8 starters at this track on January 27 over 3300m, 3.5 len behind Orestina with 71.5kg at $26. Worth plenty of thought on her jumps debut.
