Newcastle Race 5 - Northumbria Leisure For Gaming Machines Handicap
DANDY BREEZE (3) managed to keep on for a neck second making initial racecourse start over 1000m at this venue in December. Well-fancied when off the mark here next time with Paul Mulrennan aboard. Climbs in trip for first handicap attempt and is one to take very seriously. STARMADE (1) has not missed the frame in four outings including a 2.75L maiden success at the track. Placed on Bath handicap debut last month. Key player second-up. THERE'S A CHANCE (5) opened her account at Hamilton. No threat among better company at Naas and Goodwood. Interesting returning from a seven-month absence. Course and distance winner LOQUELLA (4) holds place chances.
