Newcastle Race 7 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Handicap
SOUND AND VISION (3) looked a nice prospect when a 0.75L winner of a novice at Southwell last time. Opening mark looks fair and with a top jockey booked will prove hard to beat. MAD UNICORN (6) showed a great attitude when a 0.75L winner at Lingfield last time. Drop in trip should prove no issue and looks set to give another bold showing. JUSTMYLUCK (2) was well supported for yard debut but could manage only a 2.75L third. Clearly felt capable of better and warrants another chance here. KING OF CHAOS (1) has switched yards. Connections have done well with previous recruits on the all-weather and he holds potential to improve. Shortlist.

Second-up. First-up after three months raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at this track on December 19 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Honorable Man with 59.5kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Newmarket (July) on August 23 over 1200m, 6 len behind Words Of Truth carrying 59kg at $101. Should hold the form and he appeals as one of the hardest to beat.

Comes off a 32 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track on December 9 over 1000m, 6 len behind Dolos Dream with 60.5kg at $3.50. The run before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on November 22 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Cotai Lights with 59.5kg at $7.50. Will need to lift if featuring in this line-up.
