Newcastle’s all-weather card is sponsored by BetMGM on Friday evening. GG’s in-house tipster Joe Napier has picked out his best bets among the card for you to follow.
4.03 Newcastle – Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Nursery Handicap
Nigel Tinkler’s trio look to hold sway here, as though Andalseeyourgraham has the weakest form in the whole race, Rowan Scott is aboard, who would traditionally be the first choice jockey. Aria’s Dream stepped forward last time out, but this could be a good opportunity for LIMA SIERRA, whose third on her handicap bow over 5f last week was a decent effort and suggested she would be suited by stepping back up to 6f. The 5lb Alex Jary takes off could prove beneficial too.
5.15 Newcastle – Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Fillies’ Handicap
A four-runner affair, all of whom could throw their hat in the ring, particularly if this gets tactical. On balance, KEEP ME STABLE is the percentage call, having won over course and distance in September. The daughter of Galileo Gold is 2lb higher in the weights, but she was beating 13 rivals that day, and has twice run well since off marks of 61 and 60; she is off just 57 here.
5.45 Newcastle – Win £1M With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Novice Stakes
Tancredi is the only runner with previous experience, and that second was not too bad an effort behind a 1/6 favourite, albeit he was beaten by 13 lengths. Roger Varian’s debutant SOVEREIGN SEA gets the vote, as he is fairly well-bred, the stable often score with their runners first time out, and the remaining duo look short of what’s required.
7.15 Newcastle – Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap
This is probably the most competitive race on the card, and Trais Fluors and Eyeeye should be minded dropping in class and on stable debut respectively. However, VOLENTI now looks to be a horse on the up having won for the first time in nearly two-and-a-half years last time out, though his form had been progressing on the all-weather over his previous three starts. He is up 4lb, but can continue on his upward curve.
