Newcastle Race 3 - Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Novice Stakes
RECENCY BIAS (3) missed the frame when fourth on debut at Wolverhampton before improving to finish runner-up in a 1400m Doncaster novice stakes almost a year ago. May go one better. ZATSGOOD (4) placed second on first career appearance contesting a novice race at Chantilly in November 2024. Makes UK debut and first start for a new trainer. Interesting after a break. PORTER'S SONG (2) finished fifth both career starts to date including on first UK outing at Wolverhampton last Monday. Quickly turned out and set to improve. FINALLY ESCAPED (5) cannot be discounted after placing second debuting two starts back.

Four-year-old gelding by Havana Gold out of China Cherub on debut. Betting is the best pointer to his chances.

Second-up. First start 5th of 9 at Compiegne on June 16 over 1800m, slow going 9 len behind Dropshot with 54kg at $7.40. Went for a break before returning second last in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 16 over 1700m, 7 len behind Mobberley Rose carrying 59kg at $8. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
