Newcastle Race 3 - Free Tips On Attheraces.com Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
GREAT BALLS O'FIRE (1) justified favouritism to record a cosy 1.5L winning debut over the trip at Newmarket. Last of eight next time in the Tattersalls Stakes G3 at the same venue. This is much less demanding and he can bounce back with a big performance. BENBECULA (2) was well-fancied when slowly away at Redcar before keeping on for fourth. Holds claims third-up if the money pours in again. VAL DE GREY (8) got it together late to record a respectable 2L sixth of twelve effort providing initial racecourse outing at this circuit ten-days-ago. Rates highly. MOOFEED (6) is expected to come on from debuting at Newbury debut and might make the frame.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.5 len at Newmarket (July) on August 22 over 1200m defeating Sky Symphony carrying 60.5kg at $2.50. Last start struggled in the run home; ran last of 8 in the G3 Somerville Tattersall Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) on September 24 over 1400m, 7 len behind Fuel The Jet carrying 58kg at $7. Likely to feature.

First-starter by Bated Breath out of Near Big. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.

Third race start. First start ran last of 10 at Musselburgh on April 4 over 1000m, 16 len behind Adonius with 59kg at $26. Returned from break 8th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on October 8 over 1200m, 10 len behind Cool King carrying 59kg at $126. Will struggle to be competitive here, even with the in-form David Egan riding.

Was at long odds at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Newbury on August 26 over 1300m, 7 len behind Crusherman with 60.5kg at $41. Much better for that experience and can open his account.

At debut, ran second last of 7 at Haydock Park on September 3 over 1200m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Sharadd carrying 58kg at $17. Will take a lot from that hitout and shapes as one to consider.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, ran second last of 9 at Musselburgh on September 12 over 1400m, 20 len behind Vegasmile with 60.5kg at $51. Last start couldn't go on with it; 11th of 13 at this track on September 25 over 1400m, 8 len behind Showcasing Glory carrying 60.5kg at $201. Doesn't look one of the major players.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 3rd of 7 at Haydock Park on September 3 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Flying Pirate with 56.5kg at $21. Second-up 6th of 9 at Haydock Park on September 26 over 1600m, in the wet; 12 len behind Kaguyahime carrying 58kg at $15. Doesn't appeal.
