Get ready for an exciting day of horse racing action as Newcastle and Wolverhampton host captivating meetings on Monday. The spotlight will be on recent course and distance winner Rogue Encore at Newcastle, while Altanera takes center stage at Wolverhampton.
Newcastle: A Battle of the Fillies and a Quest for Back-to-Back Wins
The Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Fillies’ Novice Stakes (5.30) promises a thrilling contest, with newcomer Majaz taking on the hat-trick seeking Searchingtheblues. Majaz, a sister to Hafit who narrowly missed out on victory in the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot, is an intriguing prospect in her debut race. Searchingtheblues, on the other hand, has been in impressive form, securing a convincing win at Wolverhampton in her last outing. She faces a tough challenge with a hefty penalty to overcome but looks to be the one to beat. North Star, a solid performer who finished second over course and distance last time out, is a potential threat.
The Weekly Free Bets With Betmgm Extra Handicap (6.00) features a clash of recent course and distance winners in Rogue Encore and The Cookstown Cafu. This race looks particularly intriguing with several contenders well-handicapped on their best form. The Cookstown Cafu, a winner at this course twice in three starts, is a strong contender. The switch back to the all-weather track could be beneficial. Rogue Encore, bidding for a repeat victory on this track, will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time. He has shown great potential, finishing close behind Inisherin and Kalpana in March, and should not be underestimated. Bellarchi, despite a drop in weight since his win at Ascot in May, could bounce back with a win on the all-weather track.
Wolverhampton: Altanera Aims for Another Win
The BetUK: It’s Where The UK Bets Handicap (7.15) sees last-time-out-winner Altanera take the lead. David Simcock’s charge showed impressive stamina in his last win at the track in October, overcoming a slow start. With a step up in trip, he could be the one to beat. Dark Mystery, despite steadily declining weights, has been consistent in recent runs and can’t be overlooked. Grand Duchess Olga, who has been finishing close to the top in her recent races, is another contender to watch out for.
