Newsboy has unveiled his horse racing selections for Thursday's five meetings, with Recobella taking top billing as the nap at Hamilton Park.
Recobella to Shine at Hamilton
The Phil Kirby-trained mare is fancied to return to winning ways in the Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap (5.22). Despite a modest record of 1-17 overall, and 1-14 on turf, her recent second-place finish at Doncaster suggests she is close to another victory. Sent off at 7-2 in a seven-runner apprentice handicap over a mile and a half, Recobella finished half a length behind Sisterandbrother, a winner who has since scored again. Dropping from a 0-65 to a 0-55 rating, and with only a 1lb rise in the weights, she looks hard to beat.
Gallus Norman the Next Best
In the Sodexo Live! Events Handicap (4.51), Gallus Norman is expected to provide another winner for the in-form Jim Goldie. The seven-year-old won impressively under Eireann Cagney in an amateurs' event at Musselburgh a fortnight ago, and despite a 6lb rise in the weights, he has untapped potential to follow up.
