Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Marianne Mozart No. 2, stall 2
Kyle McHugh · Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos
✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out ✓ Trainer in form (2/9, 14 days)
Marianne Mozart is the pick of a competitive 14-runner Newcastle sprint, and her progressive profile is the reason to side with her over Kings Merchant, who is rated just a pound better on our figures. At 69 she sits level with Hectic and only narrowly behind the top-rated runner, so a horse still on the upgrade has the potential to outrun that small deficit. Kings Merchant, Hectic and Havanagreattime are the main dangers, all within a couple of pounds of her, but none brings the same upward momentum. Marianne Mozart is the selection.

Jake Dickson (5)
Peter Niven 1/6
Won last time out and back quickly after only seven days, but that victory followed a ninth and an unplaced run, so consistency is a question for this gelding. He has run over today's trip and going, carries 139 lb from stall seven, and our rating of 66 ranks him fifth of 14.

Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos 2/9
Marianne Mozart arrives in winning form after taking her last outing just nine days ago, and she has run over today's trip and on the going before. Carrying 135 lb from draw 2, she's a solid pick on overall profile, though her earlier runs were modest.

Philip Kirby 0/14
Kings Merchant won twice in his last six starts, including a winner three starts back, and a third two starts back shows he stays competitive; he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 70 puts him top of 14. The risk is an eighth last time out.

James Sullivan
Ruth Carr 1/13
Havanagreattime has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 68 ranks him fourth of 14, so he's a live threat off an official mark of 64 despite a winless recent run. The risk is plain: he's finished ninth last time out, and a ninth five starts back, with nothing better than eighth lately.

Liam Bailey 1/8
Hectic is a leading danger on our ratings, having already run over today's trip and going and returning quickly after seven days off, but he's yet to win and has finished seventh in his last three outings, so recent form is the worry. He is rated 69 by us against an official 63, with 133 lb from stall 14.

Jason Hart

Battenburg Belle won last time out, 10 days ago, and has three wins in her last six starts, with a fourth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 63 only ranks her ninth of 14, though, and 133 lb from draw 8 is a hefty burden.

Pal Joey has finished eighth in each of his last two and is winless in recent starts, while an 88-day absence and a cold yard (0/21) add doubts. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 64 sits just above his official 61.

David Nolan

Consistent sort who was fourth last time out, with a second two starts back and a win four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 131 lb from stall five, he looks held by a mid-pack rating of 64 that ranks him seventh of 14.

Pit Boss is winless in his last six, with a sixth last time out and a third two starts back the best of recent efforts, so he is hard to fancy at 128 lb from stall 3. He is back quickly after seven days and has run over today's trip and going, but our rating of 58 ranks him 11th of 14.

Cam Hardie
Philip Kirby 0/14
Won last time out and again three starts back, with a fifth two starts back in between, so the form reads well on the surface, and he's fit enough after 17 days; but our rating of 58 ranks him 12th of 14, and carrying 127 lb from draw 9 leaves plenty to prove.

Jack Callan
Michael Dods 0/10
Lord Abama won last time out and is fresh enough after 17 days, having also run over today's trip and on this going before, though his previous five runs, with a seventh four starts back among them, were far less consistent. Our rating of 63 ranks him tenth of 14, and he carries 122 lb from draw 10.

Penny Mountain is winless in her last six, finishing fifth last time out and again two starts back, and a 116-day absence adds rust to the doubts. She has run over today's trip and going, and two thirds in that spell offer some hope, but our rating of 55 ranks her 13th of 14.
