Newcastle Race 1 - Awc Finals Day At Newcastle 26th March Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
A disappointing turnout with just three runners but all holding major potential. The William Haggas trained SEA LA ROMA (3) produced an encouraging debut when 2.75L second in a 1400m Yarmouth novice last month and may step forward once again. Yard is in top form and she should prove tough to beat finding an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. EMPRESS JINGU (2) improved with each of her three runs. Latest was a 0.75L second attempting a 1700m Nottingham maiden. Sets a good standard so could do well. AL AFAWEEQ (1) makes debut for George Boughey. By Baaeed and is related to smart performers. Deserves a market check.

Recent form sound. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Nottingham on October 1 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Thi Qar with 58kg at $8.50. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Sandown Park on September 11 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Haldon Pier carrying 58kg at $2.90. Sound top-three prospects again.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Great Yarmouth on September 15 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Chasing Daylight carrying 58kg at $4. Plenty of upside and is among the leading contenders.
