prominent, switched left when ridden to chase winner inside final two furlongs, every chance and closed on winner entering final 110 yards, unable to quicken but always doing enough to hold on for second
held up, pushed along passing halfway, unable to quicken inside final furlong, never dangerous
slowly away, made up ground to go prominent after first furlong, chased winner when ridden entering final furlong, kept on final 110 yards but always held by front pair

Sugar Hill Babe found one too good for the fifth time in succession when favourite at Newcastle though is weighted to beat both Cuban Grey and Rajmeister on these terms. ROSE KING is penalised for making a winning debut over 6f here but made virtually every yard to beat a subsequent winner and this shorter trip shouldn’t prove too much of an inconvenience. Stella Blue has been off the track since August but is worth a second glance on her return.
