Newcastle 6.55

Newcastle 6.55 4 Rey Loopey @ 5/1 + 14 Line House @ 12/1 (Lads / Coral / Sky go odds to 4th) - note race is 6.55 and NOT 6.20 as wrongly noted in e-mail = sorry!

I think a high draw and some Course and/or Tapeta form are vital here and both REY LOOPEY and PARTY FEARS TOO tick every box. Both carry penalties and whilst the Goldie 3 year old is very progressive, I think that REY LOOPEY is probably the more likely. It comes off a 77 day break, has won off a 10 day longer break and last 3 Course runs have seen 2 wins and a runner up off marks of 64 - 70 and 69 and with Course and Tapeta expertise like that and a plum draw, I don't see a mark of 75 being excessive. It is anything from 4/1-6/1 in the markets as I write, if you want a win bet have it, or an each way saver (odds to 4th) at your discretion. Also drawn high and an interesting runner for Karl Burke is LINE HOUSE. It has often looked finishing strongly at Southwell that a mile on Tapeta would be ideal; it is a Course winner here over 7 furlongs and if it can get a bit of early cover in stall 13, I would not discount a burst down the near side rail and it is bang on its winning AW mark, at 12-14/1 with odds to 4th, got to be worth a punt.
