Paul Kealy’s Placepot Picks for Newcastle

Paul Kealy is in Newcastle’s racing meeting this week offering a 50,000 guaranteed pool for the Placepot. This event features competitive races, and Paul Kealy has shared his top picks for each race to help guide bettors. Below is a breakdown of his selections for every race.

The first race at Newcastle is expected to be competitive, with Breccia forecast as the favorite. Paul Kealy won impressively last time and the stable is in strong form, but Breccia’s consistency has been questioned, as he is not the most prolific winner and has never raced on this track. His track record raises doubts, making him a risky choice for the Placepot.

Liberated Lad, however, deserves attention. His last run wasn’t great on paper, but his performance was better than the final result indicated. Given his improved form, he has a solid chance of securing a place. Including Liberated Lad in your Placepot selections could be a wise decision.

The Classified Stakes race is difficult to call, but Martin’s Brig stands out. After dropping to this level in his last outing, the Newcastle horse racing showed signs of returning to form. With a similar performance, he could be well-placed to make an impact.

Another potential place-getter is Eva Rosie. Although her last race didn’t result in a high finishing position, she showed far better form than it suggests. If she receives a clear run, she could be a strong contender in this race. For those looking for a balanced Placepot, including both Martin’s Brig and Eva Rosie would be a good strategy.

In the novice race, Sovereign Sea is the favorite, but there are concerns about his form. His debut win came in a four-horse field, and the subsequent form has not been encouraging. Based on these factors, it’s risky to rely on him for a Placepot selection.

Parkland, on the other hand, presents a stronger case. With a 7lb weight advantage, Parkland’s chances look much more solid. His consistent form makes him a reliable choice to finish in the places. If you’re after a safer Placepot bet, Parkland is the one to consider here.

The race could see the Oriental Prince back in the winners’ circle. He couldn’t complete a hat-trick in his last race, but the extra distance (6f) seemed to hinder his chances. Now, back at 5f, a distance at which he has previously excelled, Oriental Prince has a strong shot at placing. Expect him to be hard to beat if he returns to his best. Paul Kealy believes this could be a key moment for Oriental Prince to regain form.

The race is competitive, but Paul Kealy’s main pick is Agent Mayfair. Newcastle horse racing has been in solid form and could be tough to beat. However, Gunnerside also deserves consideration. He had been performing well until his last race when he showed signs of restlessness in the stalls. Paul Kealy thinks that if Gunnerside can bounce back to his previous form, he should feature prominently in the race.

Additionally, Believe Me Now provides extra coverage for the Placepot. Paul Kealy acknowledges his inconsistent form but also suggests that, with the right conditions, Believe Me Now could place. Having all three Agent Mayfair, Gunnerside, and Believe Me Now in your selections offers a stronger chance of success in this horse race, according to Paul Kealy’s expert analysis.

The final race of the day is another challenging one, but Three Beauz looks like a strong contender. His performance at 5f on this track is impressive, and he’s shown enough to suggest he can feature in the top three. Three Beauz should be included in any Placepot bet for this race.

Desert Master is also a solid option. He’s a recent winner, but he will carry a penalty for that victory. Despite this, Desert Master remains a strong contender and could well finish in the places. Including him in the Placepot bet offers a good chance of success.

With a £50,000 guaranteed pool up for grabs, Newcastle’s meeting is one to watch for Placepot bettors. Paul Kealy’s selections cover a wide range of horses, offering both strong favorites and value picks. From Breccia and Liberated Lad in the opener to Agent Mayfair and Gunnerside, the selections provide a balanced approach to securing a place in the pool.

The key to success will be keeping a close eye on each Newcastle horse racing form and selecting those who are likely to perform at their best. Horses like Martin’s Brig, Parkland, and Oriental Prince all show strong potential to finish in the top places, making them essential picks for the Placepot. If you choose wisely, you might just take home a portion of the 50,000 prize.
