The Evening Punt: Tom Collins' free horse racing tip on Friday

EYECATCHER

(6.45 Newcastle)

Six-year-old mare who is making her 50th career start tonight and looks to have a good chance of bringing up her eighth victory. This five-time course winner hasn't been successful since September but has run well in defeat over 6f on her last four outings and has now found herself running off her last winning mark. Often held up right out the back, Oriental Lilly hasn't been able to get to the leaders recently and may appreciate the step up in trip with the extra furlong looking likely to suit. Stall one isn't the best spot but that is factored into her price.
