Newcastle Tip: Roaring Rory

Is 6lbs better off with Another Angel having finished a length ahead of him over course and distance. Ran the fastest closing sectional; 0.63s quicker than the market leader.

Sometimes prices just don’t make sense but that is good news as far as punters are concerned. Roaring Rory is available at 12/1 and that seems crazy given his form.


Roaring Rory finished ahead a length ahead of Another Angel when the pair met over course and distance a month ago. The latter is now favourite despite being 6lbs worse off; how exactly is he going to turn around the form?

The pace of the race also favours Roaring Rory, he was the fastest closer at Newcastle last time and covered the final 2f isn 23.44s; which is 0.63s fastest than Another Angel.

With five career wins, Ollie Pears has the much more likely winner. He’s scored off this sort of mark before and on his fourth start after wind surgery, he looks a live contender.
