Newcastle Race 3 - Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Handicap
BANTZ (1) is selected to go one better than when 0.8L second contesting a 1400m handicap here earlier this month. KILTEEL (5) ended 2024 with a 1L third over 1600m at this track. Bold show expected stepping up in distance. ROSE OF NEW JERSEY (2) enters calculations on her first start since finishing 3.8L third tackling 1400m here in October. HERKEIOS (3) placed third twice prior to a last of seven attempting 1900m at Wolverhampton two weeks ago. Expected to put that latest effort behind him.
