Newcastle Race 2 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
SHAMACID (5) brings plenty of racecourse experience placing four times out of five career starts including finishing runner-up in a Southwell AW novice last month. May go one better. PENSION POT (4) improved nicely from a debut fourth attempting a Redcar novice placing second on latest outing at Catterick a fortnight ago. Form is yet to work out from previous contest. Expected to challenge. BLOODSWEATANDTYRES (2) placed a respectable third making racecourse debut over course and distance. With more to come can be considered. THE ENGLISH ROGUE (6) might be thereabouts following two consecutive fourth-placed finishes.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 3rd in a small field at this track on September 11 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Monsieur Bondy with 59kg at $51. Sure to come on from that run and appeals as one of the major players.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 4th of 7 at Redcar on September 24 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Melvin Udall carrying 60.5kg at $29. Second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Catterick on October 18 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Secret Sonata carrying 58.5kg at $4. Plenty of scope for improvement and sure to measure up.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Southwell All Weather on October 3 over 1400m, 4 len behind Zabeel Alkabeir with 59kg at $5. The start before that 3rd of 7 at Wolverhampton on September 16 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Grey Jaguar with 59.5kg at $4.50. This looks the ideal assignment.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at Southwell All Weather June 17 over 1600m, 9 len behind Big Leader carrying 59kg at $8. On debut second last in a small field at this track May 2 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Sea The Light carrying 59kg at $3.30. Further improved and looks a key chance on two figures to date.
