20:00 Newcastle — Race Preview & Tips
We head to Newcastle tonight for the 20:00, and our top selection is the very much in-form Anthropologist. This promising four-year-old arrives here with an undeniable upward curve, having landed his maiden last time out with a thoroughly impressive performance. That victory not only marked him as a horse going places but also highlighted a significant improving form line of 6-4-2-1, showcasing a horse truly hitting his peak and finding his best stride.
Trainer Michael Herrington has clearly got this one flying, and with Dylan Hogan maintaining the partnership, confidence is high for a repeat success. Being a young four-year-old with a recent win under his belt, there's every reason to believe Anthropologist has plenty more scope for improvement and can defy the EVS price to follow up. He looks set to take this step up in class in his stride, proving he’s well ahead of the handicapper.
For those seeking an each-way alternative, Call Me Betty looks a very solid proposition. She's been running with consistency and is more than capable of finding herself in the places at decent odds. However, Anthropologist is undoubtedly the one to be on tonight; he’s the horse with the most momentum and potential in the race.
