Crimson Coronet tipped to paint the town red with Newcastle run

-

Crimson Coronet can step up an initial promising debut in the Win £2,000,000 With BETMGM'S Golden Goals Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Newcastle today.

The Zoustar filly commanded 210,000 guineas as a yearling in 2022, hailing from a fine Anthony Oppenheime­r family withgoldcu­pwinnercou­rage Mon Ami and Listed winner Lion's Pride among his dam's half-siblings.

With that kind of pedigree it is little surprise Crimson Coronet kicked off life over a mile at Kempton last month, eventually beaten just under four lengths in fifth after keeping on all the way to the line as a 33-1 shot.

She was further back than ideal that day in what appeared a smart fillies' maiden and Charlie Fellowes' charge should have learnt plenty for the experience.

Moon Flight made a promising start for Linda Perratt after winning one of his eight starts for previous trainer Sir Mark Prescott.

The four-year-old took second place for his new handler when lining up at Wolverhamp­ton nearly two weeks ago, racing prominentl­y and taking the lead inside the final furlong before just being ran down in the finish.

A repeat of that half-length defeat would probably be good enough, even with a 1lb rise, in

the Always Gamble Responsibl­y With BETUK Handicap.

Wait And Hope failed to get off the mark in three maiden and novice starts but found handicap company more his speed at Kempton just over a week ago.

Liningupof­famarkof66,karl Burke's charge drifted across the track a bit in the finish but still prevailed by a length and a quarter, seemingly appreciati­ng a move up to a mile.

He has been hiked 5lb for that success but given he still looked a bit green at the business end, he could have a bit to

work with in the Best Racing Odds Guaranteed At BETMGM Handicap.

Eden Storm can enhance his Wolverhamp­ton record with victory in the Win £2,000,000 With BETMGM'S Golden Goals Handicap.

Three runs at the Midlands venue have resulted in two wins and a second, with the value of his most recent neck victory over Smoky Mountain boosted when that rival was on the mark on his next start back at Dunstall Park. This sevenfurlo­ng course and distance looks ideal.
