A Newcastle NAP, Next Best and Each-Way from Timeform
Newcastle Nap - 16:50 - Back Completed
Completed cost 100,000 guineas as a yearling and made a promising debut at Southwell earlier this month, seemingly lacking something in sharpness early on, but growing into the race well, beaten only by the favourite who had shown plenty previously.
Completed will stay further in time, but this trip is fine for now and, with this stiffer track expected to suit, she makes plenty of appeal on the back of her debut effort.
Newcastle Next Best - 18:00 - Back Amayretto
Amayretto arrives at the top of her game, not needing to improve to open her account at Redcar two starts back, and she wasn't seen to best effect when third at Nottingham last time
She travelled through that race like the best horse at the weights and was collared only close home on that occasion in heavy ground. The return to all-weather will suit and she is fancied to quickly resume winning ways.
Newcastle Each Way - 18:30 - Back Havana Rose
A case can be made for a few of these, but Havana Rose rates the pick at the weights on the back of her excellent second at Pontefract last time.
That was her handicap debut and she left the impression she has been handed a fair opening mark, so edges the vote back at five furlongs which shouldn't pose a problem at this track.
