510 Newcastle-A race where the market leaders are all very vulnerable.Im going to have a little bit on Brave Battle,who ideally would like softer ground but both its win have come in races of 9 runners or less,its has a record of 1 win and 2 places from 7 runs in class 6 races and in its 2 runs at the course,its finished 1st and 3rd.
Back Brave Battle 5pts at 17.0-3rd(-5pts)Nicely backed into 7.0 and ran a decent race.

630 Kempton-Quite a lot of these arent proven on this track so the fact top rated Gallipot has no form here is no real concern.Its been steadily improving and if handling the surface,must go close.
Back Gallipot 15pts at 3.5-Won(+37.5pts)Won in good style(DT+32.5pts)

650 Yarmouth-The ground has dried out for Elusive Hawk who goes very well at the course(2wins-2places-7runs),it also has a very unusual stat in its favour.When carrying beween 9st8 and 10st its record is 5wins-1place-7runs against a record of 0wins-3places-20runs when carrying less than 9st 8.
Back Elusive Hawk 10pts at 3.5-2nd(-10pts)Strong late run but just didnt quite get there,going down by a short head.(DT+22.5pts)
