The Evening Punt: David Baxter's free horse racing tip at Newcastle on Friday

Banker

Thrave (7.00 Newcastle)

A winner of an apprentice handicap at the track last week, Thrave has no penalty for that success so is 4lb well in here.

Apprentice Erika Parkinson keeps the ride, and the pair receive weight from the entire field.

Stepping back up to a mile after winning over 7f should be no problem, and while tonight's race is tougher than last week's, Thrave has won off higher marks in the past and can follow up.
