Sweetspots: Simba Samba can dance to glory

Simba Samba7.00 Newcastle
Philip McBride has a 43 per cent strike-rate (3-7) at Newcastle and runs course winner Simba Samba at the track. The three-year-old has shown improved form since tried in handicaps and the step up in trip looks ideal.

Magellan1.50 Wetherby
Magellan is interesting on his first start after a wind op for Philip Kirby and Sean Quinlan. The trainer-jockey combination are operating at an 80 per cent strike-rate at the venue and the trainer has a 50 per cent strike-rate (1-2) after first-time wind surgery.

Unforgiving Minute has been performing well of late, but remains 3lb lower than when scoring around this time last year so still looks fairly treated for this contest.
