Newcastle Race 4 - Christmas Parties At Newcastle Racecourse Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
GEOMETRY (4) is a Kodiac colt out of the Listed winning Fountain Of Time. Makes debut for the in-form Roger Varian stable and ticks plenty of boxes. Looks set to make a bright start to his career. CRYSTAL DARK (2) is a two-year-old Mohaather gelding from black-type producer Mamma Morton. Would hold serious claims first-up if there is a market lead. MR MINZ (5) finished 11L third tackling the trip on racecourse debut at Musselburgh. Only 1.5L behind the eventual winner when again third next time at Ayr. Place chance. Any moves in the market for the Charlie Johnston-trained newcomer WADACRE GABRIEL (8) should be noted.

Jumped at big odds at debut, eased back early on 5th of 7 at Thirsk on July 24 over 1200m, 13 len behind Blakey Ridge carrying 59kg at $26. Can't see him playing a major role.
