Newcastle 1.53 Plenty of these have form that ties in & its hard to make strong case for any of those runners as they could all run well , so I am just going to pass over this opening contest
Lingfield 2.05 Another very tight handicap , one that offers something of interest is Al Rufaa who was last time out towards the back, turning in, but rattled home to take second, albeit the winner was eased towards the finish. His style of running means he requires a good gallop to be seen at his best, and when he gets it he’ll surely be adding to his tally & that looks likely to happen today. Advised Bet Al Rufaa 3/4 pt ew @ 9’2 William Hill 4 places
Newcastle 2.25 A high draw is usually a big advantage in these big fields at this venue. There are 3 markets leaders that have that advantage and its hard to separate their chances , with the prices also about right its a easy race to swerve bet wise
Lingfield 2.40 Cephalus is the only one of these that seems to be improving but I just don’t like the jockey ( way past his best imo ) and that puts me off. The rest are very exposed & nothing temps
Newcastle 3.00 Nine Tenths & Shades Of Summer have little to separate them on form over C&D , but there is a massive weight turnaround in the favour of Nine Tenths inc the very capable claimer & this looks a golden opportunity. Advised Bet Nine Tenths 2pt win @ 5’2
Lingfield 3.15 A staying contest that looks impossible to solve given the very exposed runners , so we can move on
Newcastle 3.35 Batal Dubai was coming home fastest of all last time out the sharp track at Lingfield appearing to find him out, however, he retains obvious potential off his current mark. He’s already won at Newcastle, so a big run can be expected. Advised Bet Batal Dubai 1/2 pt ew @ 11’2 Coral 4 places
Lingfield 3.50 A 5’1 the field race and it is very easy to see why with no standout selection in a wide open sprint. We move on
Newcastle 4.10 Plenty of these come into this in winning form and the prices are about right on most of them. One that could be a bit of value is Irish raider Elegant Man who runs in the colours of an owner that has seemingly made very big investments for this season’s fall campaign. He strikes me as the type that could be graded class going forward. Advised Bet Elegant Man 1/2 pt ew @ 6’1 firms offering 4 places
Newcastle 4.40 French raider Fast Raaj looks an interesting contender having beaten runners who have very solid graded form last time out over in France and he might just a class above this opposition. Advised Bet Fast Raaj 1/2 pt ew @ 7’1 firms offering 4 places
