Newcastle Race 5 - Admiral Race To Riches Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
MUSSAB (3) finished 8L sixth contesting the 1207m G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York just under two weeks ago. Selected to break through for his first triumph dropping markedly in grade. The experienced WHAT A GIRL WANTS (9) placed 3.5L fourth attempting a six runner 1005m novice event at Beverley. Expected to challenge. PERFECT STRIKE (4) stepped up on his debut effort delivering a 6.5L fifth competing over 1307m at Newbury. Strong prospects. Minzaal colt CAELUM (1) is a half-brother to G1 winner Powerful Glory. Warrants close consideration debuting for a stable who get their share of juvenile winners.
