Newcastle Race 1

30 In Free Bets With Betuk Handicap (Gbb Plus Race)

Stake: $20,295

KING CHAOS (1) is yet to miss the top three in all four career starts. Three consecutive third place finishes culminated in an impressive 5L maiden victory at Southwell over 2200m back in December. Leading contender. Involving the top pick CADARN (2) finished fourth over course and distance in December. Form has been franked and might finish closer. Dangerous. NINTH LIFE (6) ran out a narrow neck winner at Southwell more than a year ago last start. Interesting racing first-up this year. MOLINARI (7) bids for a hat-trick following two victories at this venue. Must be given a chance.
