Newcastle Race 4 - Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
INISHBEG (4) improved markedly from finishing eighth in the Convivial Maiden Stakes during the York Ebor Festival to place second providing last start of the season at Redcar. May go one better. INFINITE DREAM (3) finished fifth on debut at Newmarket (July) back in August before going one better when fourth contesting a maiden at York last September. Interesting resuming from a break. MIDSUMMER STORM (5) represents notable connections. Missed the placings debuting fourth at this venue attempting 1600m. Will be thereabouts. TIGER'S NEST (7) cannot be discounted after placing third at Kempton Park AW making first career appearance.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign 6th of 8 at Southwell All Weather on October 3 over 1400m, 9 len behind Zabeel Alkabeir carrying 59kg at $12. When resuming last campaign 5th of 8 at Ayr on May 1 over 1200m, 4 len behind Dan Tucker carrying 60kg at $9. Likely to need this run.

Was at big odds at debut, in a small field at this track on March 5 over 1600m, 8 len behind Billecart with 58kg at $29. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and likely to be highly competitive again.
