Hi all,
This week isn’t turning out to be as good as the previous couple and I need to regain the winning thread quickly.
Today’s selections are from Newcastle.
Newcastle
5:30 – Licit – 9/2 @ Bet365 – A winner on soft ground at Haydock 1m 4f last year. She looked in need of a stiffer test of stamina when 2nd of 9 at Kempton (1m 3f) before disappointing at Lingfield. Returns from a couple of down the field efforts over hurdles. If she takes to the tapeta, better can be expected from the filly here.
7:00 – Made In Italy – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The top-weight won a novice at Lingfield last January and also finished 3rd of 11 in Group 2 in Italy last summer. Lightly raced, the 4-year-old returns to a mile for the first time since her Lingfield success and if fully tuned up after a 114-day break can surprise here.
8:30 – Saisons D’Or – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Took advantage of a falling handicap mark when making all over C&D 23-days ago. Nudged up 3lb for that success and probably unlikely to be gifted a solo out in front today but he remains on a winnable mark based on past form.
Cheers
John
