Morning all,
We have a hit a bit of a flat spot of late and could do with a winner or two on the final two days racing before Boxing Day.
All today’s three selections are from Newcastle.
Newcastle
2:55 – Tukhoom – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Shaped with promise on his first start since returning to the David O’Meara yard when 5th of 9 at Wolverhampton 16-days ago. Has yet to win on the all-weather after 12 starts but has placed over C&D in the past. Steps back up to 7f here which is a positive and shouldn’t be far away.
4:55 – Rockley Point – 5/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A previous C&D winner has been maintaining his form well since winning at Catterick back in October with two placed efforts here over 5f. Held every chance when 3rd of 14 here 6-days ago and if reproducing that form looks to have a good chance.
5:25 – Etikaal – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Is a three-time winner at the course including C&D. He comes into the race in decent enough form and was finishing his race off well when 3rd of 14 over C&D, 34-days ago. Now 2lb below his last winning mark and looks capable of winning a race like this when all the cards fall right.
Cheers
John
