Newcastle Race 2 - Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
MINNIE IDOL (3) finished runner-up losing out by 1L on most recent appearance in a course and distance maiden. Since changed yards and may go one better racing first-up for a new trainer. ARGY BHAJI (4) bids to turn two placed efforts into a first career success. Placed third on debut at Kempton Park AW before following up to fill the same spot in a Chelmsford novice event. Interesting after a break. FARANDAWAY (1) lost out by 0.75L placing second on latest outing tackling a Southwell AW handicap nine days ago. Will be thereabouts. VEGA STORM (7) is a Lucky Vega three-year-old and the pick of those debuting.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 7th of 10 at this track on February 4 over 1200m, 5 len behind Champonie with 64.5kg at $15. Second-up 8th of 11 at this track on February 24 over 1200m, 8 len behind Seven Fires carrying 64.5kg at $41. Open to plenty of improvement and might surprise.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 2nd of 11 at this track on February 24 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Seven Fires carrying 61kg at $51. Better for that outing and looks a great chance to break through.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, got back early in a small field at this track on February 19 over 1400m, 8 len behind Factual carrying 56.5kg at $81. Second-up ran last in a small field at this track on March 5 over 1600m, 17 len behind Billecart carrying 60.5kg at $81. Happy to look elsewhere on what he's shown so far.
