5:25 Newcastle – First Dance – 1pt win @ 6/1
FIRST DANCE looks a couple of points on the large side in the opening handicap and should go well. The 5-year-old mare is on a long losing run but there has been more promise the last twice, both runs coming over C&D, and she would have done better on each occasion if the early pace wasn’t so slack. Whether it will be much quicker today, I’m not entirely sure, but a win will come her way soon and this opposition is far from brilliant. If they go hard enough up top, she can finish fast and go close.
7:00 Newcastle – Jalaad – 1pt win @ 8/1
Things haven’t gone to plan for JALAAD since he landed his maiden at Doncaster but the handicapper is giving him a chance, dropping him a generous 5lbs for a no-show at Newmarket last time. However, fast ground on an undulating track may not be what he’s after and for a while now I’ve thought a return to a mile would be in his favour. He gets the longer distance today, takes a hidden class drop also and has to be a contender if he’s in form after a couple of months off the track. 8/1 is a worthy play.
