Newcastle Race 3 - Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Novice Stakes
ZATSGOOD (4) Resuming after a spell of 70 weeks. Ran 2nd last run at Chantilly and was on debut last time. Change in trainer but will be dropping in distance. Looks a worthwhile proposition today. BILLYJOEGOLD (1) Debutant 4yo by Havana Gold for trainer R Carr and has a good draw. Market as guide. RECENCY BIAS (3) Fresh today after a break of 50 weeks. Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time at Doncaster and going down in grade. Respect. POP THE QUESTION (6) First up after a break of 56 weeks. Couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last start in a hurdle at Southwell but dropping in class. Coming to a new trainer. Chance for exotics.

On a quick back up. Started at $8.00 and was agonizingly close last time at Wolverhampton but will find this grade easier. Will be positive in the run early. Pass at this stage.

First up from a break of 50 weeks. Finished well when 2nd last time at Doncaster and back in an easier grade. Good potential.

Resuming after break of 70 weeks. Ran 2nd last run at Chantilly and fitter for debut run. First start for a new trainer but back to a shorter distance. Will show up at the business end.

Started at $51.00 and finished 6th last run at Southwell but competing in an easier class. Should come to hand quickly. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Better to look elsewhere.

First run back from a break of 56 weeks. Odds of $126.00 and struggled with the pace when 9th last start in a hurdle at Southwell. Gets the perfect draw. Has to improve out of sight.
