15.30 Newcastle: Titus Bolt @ 11/2 Bet365 - 2pts win
Very interesting performance by Titus Bolt lto when he finished 2nd in a strange race at Musselburgh. There was no pace on whatsoever in the early stages of the race and the eventual winner Sartingo enjoyed the run of the race in a way he probably won't do again in his career. Sartingo kicked on 4f out and took the whole field by surprise. He soon had a four lengths lead turning for home and never gave this away. For horses from behind it was impossible to get back to him but Titus Bolt was the one who finished best of all. He travelled nicely, made some good headway turning for home and really finished the race in good fashion in 2nd place, a good deal in front of the rest. He's allowed to race of the same mark again tomorrow, which is 2lb higher than his last winning mark, but he ran some good races in defeat of higher marks, like when he finished a neck beaten in heavy conditions at Windsor last summer, and at the same venue later when he finished 4th over 12f, looking to win it 1f out but didn't stay the trip in the end. 10f looks fine though, the ground is no problem either, and trainer Jim Goldie was very successful at Newcastle last season with almost 18% of his runners having won here. Andrea Atzeni booked for the ride is also quite encouraging.
