Newcastle Race 5 - Bet 10 Get 40 With Betmgm Handicap
GANTHORPE (5) delivered his best effort in six starts to date placing 1L third tackling 1207m at Wolverhampton just under two weeks ago. Taken to break through for his first win. CONTAINER EXPRESS (4) lost out by 1.5L placing third in a 1207m handicap at this venue last month. Bold show expected. BELLING THE CAT (9) finished sixth in all three previous starts including over 1005m at Southwell fifteen days ago. Step forward expected making her handicap debut. WOODY Y FERNANDEZ (6) failed to shine registering a 28L tenth trying 1222m at Southwell during January. Claims on form demonstrated last year.
