Newcastle Race 7 - Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap (Div 2)
BRAVE TRAVELLER (4) First up. Rounded them up to win last time at this venue and good career start. Should race on the speed. Showing improvement in recent outings. Looks well suited in this race. THANKFULLY SIMMY (5) Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 5 1/2L last time at Lingfield and drawn beautifully. Shows good finishing speed. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Dropping weight. Can go on with it. SOUTHERN WARRIOR (2) Struggled when 4th last start at Lingfield. Must respect in this event. MIGHTY VEGA (3) Ran 5th last time here but will try to take advantage of the stall. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. Should jump out and bowl along. Can fill a place in this field.

Odds of $19.00 and finished 5th last time at this venue but can find a nice position from the draw. Winkers on could be an important change. Keep safe for trifectas.

Back after a 26 week break. Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by just short of 10L last run at Beverley but facing a stronger group of contenders. Hard to have.

Resuming. At $17.00 advanced late into 5th last run at this track and will benefit with the weight drop. Does take a while to get into stride. Could put in your exotics.
