The in-form combo of William Haggas and Tom Marquand look to have an excellent chance of further Group success at Newcastle this evening with My Astra, live on Sky Sports Racing.
The four-year-old filly earnt a rating of 115 after a visually stunning 12-length demolition of a decent Listed field at Ayr last time out, and now steps up to Group level for the G3 Hoppings Fillies’ Stakes (7:10) on the All-Weather surface at Gosforth Park.
That race is the feature on Day two of the Northumberland Plate meeting, but she will face some unexposed types including Tom Clover’s Rogue Millennium, who lost her unbeaten record in the Oaks earlier this month.
Other interesting contenders include Sir Michael Stoute’s Potapova, Angel Power and Ralph Beckett’s Moon De Vega, one place behind Rogue Millennium in the Oaks.
