Newcastle Race 3 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Handicap
MYSTICAL LAND (3) produced a creditable track and trip fourth finishing 1.5L down after travelling prominently throughout. This venue suits and may go close. Leading contender. MADEMOISELLE BELLE (5) made the frame twice recently where last recorded a Southwell All Weather 1200m second. Trip remains the query but holds claims. Main danger. ALY A'ALI (1) resumes after a break. Finished fifth contesting 1200m here end of previous campaign and fresh record reads well so warrants serious consideration. YA HABIBTI (2) returned a Kempton Park All Weather providing a 1200m sixth on latest appearance. Better expected back in this grade. Holds claims.
