Newcastle each-way tip (1900): Bellagio Man eyes up frame finish at tasty odds

19:00 Newcastle: Build Your Acca With BetUK Handicap - Div 2 (6 furlongs)  

As a course and distance winner just after Christmas, and over five furlongs here just eight days ago, The Caltonian is surely going to take all the beating here. 

His last seven outings have produced eye-catching figures of 1123211, with each of those three defeats being less than a length, and even a five pound penalty should not prevent Linda Perratt’s five-year-old completing a hat-trick.

The favourite’s odds-on price might be for serious bettor’s only, but it does exchange the each-way value for the eight rivals likely to be contesting the minor placings.

Six of those eight are available at tasty-looking double-digit odds, with course-and-distance winner Dickieburd and Secret Road both entering calculations, but our final nod for outsider value goes to Antony Brittain’s Bellagio Man, who has also enjoyed previous success over this very trip.

That success came three outings ago in September, since then his last two efforts here have been less fruitful, although his fifth of 10 last time out in November comes with the caveat that he found himself poorly placed and had nowhere to go when the leading pack made their move.

After a busy autumn campaign, he should return rested and refreshed from a two-month break, and it will be fascinating to see what Cam Hardie can bring out of the six-year-old as he returns to his saddle after a five-race absence.

Bellagio Man will obviously need the favourite to falter badly if he is to return to winning ways here, but with the remaining places very much up for grabs, he is not without a chance of a frame finish and has the credentials to make a nonsense of his 20/1 price tag. 

Suggested best bet: Bellagio Man in the 19:00 at Newcastle
