2K to 10K Betting Challenge (Bet No 42 ) Wed 20th Feb

2K to 10K Betting Challenge continues on Wednesday from Newcastle .

The Betting Bankroll stands at £2664 (+£664) ,after Merhoob finished close nose second in 6f handicap at Lingfield on Saturday .

Slightly frustrating result,with Merhoob getting chinned on line,after looking the winner inside the final furlong.No damage done with money back on the bet .Stakes remaining the same at £106.00

Moving on to Wednesday ,we have good quality class two handicap on tapeta at Newcastle .9 Runners declared for the £45,000 Sunracing 7f handicap at 3.10 .The three main contenders look to be Keyser Soze, Pinnata & Sanaadh  .

PINNATA : 5-Y-0 Bay Gelding ,winning 4 out 10 on All Weather.Been in excellent form this winter,winning last three starts, including winning class two handicap over C&D at Newcastle last month .Up another 5lb in the weights to mark (95),though still looks open to further improvement on tapeta.The four timer cannot be ruled out .

KEYSER SOZE :5-Y-0 Chestnut Gelding ,winning 3 out 4 on All Weather.Shown progressive form on poly track this winter,landing last two starts at Lingfield ,including winning class two handicap last time .No easy task off  6lb higher mark (101), in this stronger looking handicap.Also makes tapeta debut .

SANAADH : 6-Y-0 Bay Gelding ,winning 4 out 12 .Formerly trained in Germany ,winning two handicaps for A.Wohler .Changed hands for £26,000 at Nov Doncaster sales in 2017 .Returned to form for new trainer Michael Wigham ,landing class two handicap over C&D at Newcastle in December .Also finished creditable third at Wolverhampton over 6f last time.Interesting contender back up in trip.

VERDICT : SANAADH should go well returning to this more suitable trip,only 2lb higher than when winning class two handicap over C&D at Newcastle in December.Shaped with plenty of promise over 6f at Wolverhampton last time (staying on nicely at finish) .Also looks open to further improvement on All Weather after just two starts .Odds around 13-2 look very fair e-way value .

Pinnata looks main danger,has been in excellent form this winter,including winning over C&D at Newcastle last time ,though has taken big hike in the weights.Going up 19lb since November .

Keyser Soze has been put in strong favourite ,after landing two handicaps at Lingfield,though will still need career best, off mark 101 to land this stronger handicap .Odds around 2-1 make little appeal on tapeta debut .
