Newcastle Race 2

All-Weather Championship Is Back Ebf Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $22,140

ENDLESS QUEST (1) won by 7.5L at Yarmouth on debut thirty-two days ago when odds-on. More experienced rivals were trailing her. Yard maintains a 50% strike rate here this season and she should be a cut above her rivals. MANEATER (3) followed in behind a short-priced favourite first time out at Wolverhampton a year ago and then ran third tackling track and trip. Off the racecourse for 351 days but holds place claims. MALIKA (6) is interesting starting out for a new trainer whose horses have been out-performing their odds lately. Tongue tie added. MIDNIGHT SERENADE (7) looks best of the rest with the hood returning and going back up in distance.

Most recently ran last of 7 at Southwell All Weather on October 15 over 2200m, 42 len behind Norflondonforever with 52.5kg at $201. The run before that ran second last of 9 at Southwell All Weather on October 6 over 2220m, 12 len behind Spec Of Light with 55kg at $501. Struggling to make an impact and happy to risk again.

Second run back. Comes off a 44-day let-up. First-up after a year ran last of 8 at Redcar on September 23 over 1400m, 20 len behind Lady Vega carrying 58kg at $301. Previously second-up 11th of 13 at Beverley on August 24 2025 over 1500m, 9 len behind Lady Hornblower carrying 57kg at $201. Not doing enough.

She is resuming after a three months break. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Hamilton Park August 11 over 1700m, 21 len behind Matter Of Britain with 58kg at $301. On debut ran last in a small field at Hamilton Park August 1 over 2200m, 50 len behind Tiernan with 55.5kg at $201. Will benefit greatly from this hitout.
