Forecasts

Alfonso Manana (2/9), Intense Romance (11/2), Mia Wallace (12/1), Spike's Princess (18/1)

Even allowing for the untapped potential of two fillies making their racecourse debuts, a surefire contender for the worst maiden run on Tapeta at Newcastle to date. Both Intense Romance and Mia Wallace are with respected stables, so in such a weak race it would be no surprise to see either make a winning debut, but it is difficult to know what to expect without some 'inside' knowledge. ALFONSO MANANA has experience of Tapeta, and can make this count, having just about earned his moderate mark of 69 in four starts since December. He should get away with dropping back to the minimum trip at this stiffer track. 1. Alfonso Manana 2. Intense Romance 3. Mia Wallace
