In depth
Verdict
International Law is 5-33 around here and very nearly gained his ninth career victory at Newcastle from today's lowly mark. CAPRICIOUS showed remarkable improvement to complete a double over slightly shorter here at the backend of last year and has had a nice break. She's only 3lb higher than her latest victory and can complete a hat-trick. Broken Rifle is running well but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting. However, he was conceding 13lb when beaten just over two lengths behind Scarborough Castle here in October so should turn the tables on these terms. It's a year since Central City last won but he's now on a 13lb lower mark and his rider claims 7lb so he looks well handicapped.
