Todays selections below
13:45 Newcastle
EXPLORERS WAY 5/2 1pt WIN
(bet365/Victors)
Brian Ellison yard in flying form, 6 winners from their last 12, and a great opportunity for enhancing that record further here. Both of Explorers
Way's wins have come here at Newcastle, albeit down over 7f/1m trips, however shaped with potential for the step up to today's 1m2f trip at the course last time out, racing wide and out the back before staying on into 4th, having met some inteferences. A slight drop in grade can suit, and if getting the right splits can come home in front.
14:20 Newcastle
LIEGE 15/8 1pt WIN
(bet365 - boost)
Liege had clearly shown ability at home on the gallops to be backed 14/1 into 9/2 ahead of his racecourse debut last time out. He ultimately raced too keen however from what can often be a difficult draw at Wolverhampton in stall 1, and he weakened inside the final furlong. He’s open to any amount of improvement second time up, the competition doesn’t look to be overly convincing, and the drop back to 6f looks sure to be in favour
today.
