UK Horse Racing Tips: Newcastle

Eva Rosie has shaped as though this step back up in distance could spark some improvement and she warrants consideration, along with track-and-trip winner Stand Free, who should strip fitter for a recent reappearance run. Perhaps THE BOBSTER is better treated, as he sneaks in off top-weight having slipped back to just 1lb above the mark he scored off over this C&D in September.
Prediction : 1st The Bobster 2nd Eva Rosie 3rd Stand Free

Above was a gutsy winner over this C&D last week and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold double bid, but he only held WATER OF LEITH by a neck that day and the latter could turn the tables on 1lb better terms. Jim Goldie's gelding won here the time before and he's in fine form at present. Brian The Snail is another to consider after the veteran's triumph over this track and trip off 4lb lower last month.
Prediction : 1st Water Of Leith 2nd Above 3rd Brian The Snail

MOTAWAHIJ has mixed in good company so far and, having filled the runner-up berth in an Ayr maiden, he performed with credit off a mark of 80 on his handicap debut over 6f here last week. Karl Burke's colt has a lot less on his plate now back in a maiden and is likely to be a warm order. Volendam showed up well for a long way over 6f here on debut and, expected to build on that now eased in trip, she looks the potential fly in the ointment for the selection. Longlife cost 62,000gns and may be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Motawahij 2nd Volendam 3rd Longlife

French import SOCIETY MAN made a mockery of his 33/1 SP on his first appearance for Charlie Johnston at Wolverhampton, getting closest to an ultra-progressive winner. He won't be allowed to slip under the radar this time and the assessor has taken a chance in leaving his mark unchanged, particularly as this event shouldn't be quite as competitive. Daring Legend's comeback fourth over 6f was pleasing enough, and he has won his last two 7f starts. Zip had to settle for fifth when on a hat-trick at Southwell, but must not be written off yet.
Prediction : 1st Society Man 2nd Daring Legend 3rd Zip

Just Typical boosted his confidence with a classified success at Southwell, although he has been beaten off lower marks this winter so needs to raise his game. Concert Boy denied him over C&D earlier in the month and is fancied to confirm that superiority but may have to play second fiddle to RAVENSBOURNE. The Dutch Art filly has been in fine form since returning to Michael Keady and wasn't stopping when making every post a winning one over 7f at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Ravensbourne 2nd Concert Boy 3rd Just Typical

The in-form pair MONSIEUR FANTAISIE and Believe Me Now look the pair to focus on. The latter appeals after a triumphant return in this company over C&D 15 days ago but she might be best caught fresh and the quick turnaround is a slight concern. There is no such doubt with Monsieur Fantaisie, who has thrived on being kept busy. Perfect Curves also needs a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Monsieur Fantaisie 2nd Believe Me Now 3rd Perfect Curves

TOMORROW DAY had no trouble justifying even-money favouritism when he comfortably landed a class 6 handicap over C&D 11 days ago and appeals strongly. Parisiac and Dicko The Legend both have solid credentials for a race of this nature and are viable alternatives to bear in mind, while Havana Sky is dangerous to rule out despite running off 4lb higher than his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Tomorrow Day 2nd Parisiac 3rd Dicko The Legend
