Just the 8 runners so let's hope they all run so we get 3 places for an each-way bet, I would look to lay both (>The Right Choice + Marietta Robusti<) as the former might prefer a different surface and the latter can find this trip too far, all of my top 4 are being ridden by claiming apprentices in this apprentice riders race, Zebulon is well weighted on its best but its best is usually in class 6 races, Oriental Lilly is a hold-up type who has won or been placed in 9 of its 18 runs so could make the frame here, Hassaard this one's trainer does well at this course and could at least make the frame, my money will be riding on LUCKY LODGE 8/1 it likes to track the leaders so should be prominent from the off, the trainer has a 16% win rate with his older horses ( 4yo plus) and this apprentice is 1 from 1 for the stable so let's hope that's a good pointer.
Win bet: Lucky Lodge 8/1 1st
Lays: The Right Choice (+1pt) Marietta Robust (+1pt)
Total points +10pts
NEWCASTLE 7.15
This looks a strange race with just one horse that has led before, I would to lay 4 horses in this race (>Iron Ryan + Jorvick Prince + Rangefield Express + Mansfield<) Lord Of The Glen has a fast time from Wolverhampton but only slow times here else it would be one of my selections, The Bull and Mansfield my joint 4th top-rated horses, Essential in 3rd top spot and Gunmaker my 2nd top-rated are all on double-figure losing streaks which is always off-putting but any of them could make the frame but my top rated is ROCKLEY POINT 12/1 who won the time before last at this course but over 5 furlongs and has been found an opportunity to visit the winners enclosure again here and the 6th furlong holds no fears having led virtually all the way when winning here before.
Win bet: Rockley Point 20/1 3rd
Lay bets: Iron Ryan (+1pt) Jorvick Prince (+1pt) Rangefiel Express (+1pt) Mansfield (+1pt)
Total = 3pts
Total on Day = +13pts
