PREVIEW

The first of ten races at Newcastle gets underway at 13:00 as we see the much-awaited return of Horse Racing in England. Stone Mason is the favourite under new connections but a price of 11/8 hardly makes him an appealing punt based on previous runs. This race is pretty open and there is more to like about Al Ozzdi at 7/1 under jockey Ben Curtis who has a 29% win ratio (16/55) at Newcastle in the last 12 months. The horse is a course and distance winner from back in January and is worth an each/way punt at least here.

The clear favourite in the 13:35 is Mutasaamy and could go off as low as Evens. Despite an 8lbs rise in weight, the ease at which Mutasaamy won at Kempton in August suggests that rise will not be a problem. With Jim Crowley making the trip for this ride, Mutasaamy has to be considered a nap here.

The 14:10 is wide open and the betting market reflects that. Freedom Flyer is highly touted while Bond’s Boy has looked good in his two runs so far. That said, this is a race better to be enjoyed rather than getting involved in given there are so many unknowns quantities in the field.

The unknown quantity in the 14:45 Betway Novice Stakes but one to potentially take a punt on is the £240k yearling named Continental. If there is some serious late money on this horse, expect some market knowledge behind this one as it has the pedigree…..and price tag(!) to suggest it may be something special.

The 15:20 looks wide open and is one of those races that looks best to avoid. Tricky Dicky had some good form behind him last year but Tathmeen looks to be the play here. Ridden by Cam Hardie and trained by Antony Brittain, the duo are regulars at the Newcastle track as is the horse itself having won five times in 12 races.

The 16:30 race offers some interesting options but E/W is the way to go here. Be Proud is one of two course and distance winners in the field along with Gorgeous General but it is the former who looks the one to watch here. Has won twice and been placed twice in six meets at Newcastle in his career and Be Proud offers some good value here.
