Newcastle Race 7 - Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap (Div 2)
BRAVE TRAVELLER (4) shed the maiden tag on fifth attempt and latest career outing gaining a head success over course and distance in a handicap during December. May double up. THANKFULLY SIMMY (5) recorded a career best last time out finishing runner-up contesting a Lingfield Park AW handicap on the back of three unplaced efforts prior. Might go one better. SOUTHERN WARRIOR (2) placed third debuting in a Southwell AW novice event. Failed to place twice subsequently. Interesting providing first start in a handicap. MIGHTY VEGA (3) cannot be discounted making second appearance for the new trainer.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on February 7 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Al Najashi carrying 62.5kg at $4.50. The race before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at this track on December 9 over 1000m, 4 len behind Dolos Dream with 60.5kg at $8. Heading in the right direction and can get off the mark.
