MARVELLOUS VALUE

NEWCASTLE 5.15 ... MARVELLOUS VALUE 2 Pts @ 14/1 S.James, P.Power 12/1 Gen

Marvellous Value could be aptly named here should he run to his best form. A course/distance winner off a higher rating in a better contest than today (Class 3).
Was stepped up in class thereafter finally running in the 6fl (Class2) Ayr Silver Cup on his final run of 2008.

His last run at this 5 fl trip was at York that year when 3rd to Hamish McGonagall and Lesson In Humility who now both run off marks of 105. (20lb higher than this contest allows).

Today's stalls in the centre of the track and Marvellous Value drawn 1 on the stands side of the field which normally favours the low drawn runners when ground on the soft side.

Slight negative that the trainer not had a winner for 4 weeks but his last winner did come at this track and Tom Eaves normally rides Newcastle well.

Should have come on for reappearance outing returning from a 2Yr absence when eased down closing stages, and priced for some E/W value, but suggest 2 Points split 80% win 20% place as he is attractively handicapped and if running to his best form he should win this!
