Newcastle tips and results

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.90 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Omnic brings the strongest combination of track record and recent form to this race. His 2nd placing last start over this distance showed he's in good form, and his excellent record at Newcastle (1-2-0 from 4 starts) is a significant advantage. Has proven ability on soft tracks and should get a perfect run from barrier 1 with the moderate-fast tempo likely to suit his racing pattern.

Our price $16.00 · SP $15.00 · Louise Day

Her form has been consistent without winning, and she draws perfectly in barrier 3. Louise Day is a positive jockey booking, and the Matthew Smith stable is in good form. The 37-day freshen-up should have her ready for this assignment.

Our price $21.00 · SP $9.50 · Donovan Dillon

Her recent run showed improvement and she gets weight relief here. The step up in distance should suit based on her finishing patterns and she maps to get a good run from barrier 5.

Our price $21.00 · SP $9.50 · Donovan Dillon

Our price $15.00 · SP $15.00 · Jeff Penza

Now second-up from a spell for master trainer Chris Waller, drawn well in barrier 3, and with experienced jockey Jeff Penza aboard.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.00 · Keagan Latham

Altercation brings strong consistent form with three consecutive second placings and a solid 55% place strike rate overall. The mare has been racing in stronger company and drops back to a more suitable grade here. While unproven on soft tracks, her tactical versatility and strong finishing ability should be well-suited to the expected fast tempo. Represents the best winning chance.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Shannen Llewellyn

Bodgie represents excellent value dropping significantly in class from stronger races. He's a proven wet track performer with 3 wins from 17 starts on heavy going, suggesting he'll handle the soft conditions. With a light weight of 52kg and a good draw in barrier 6, he's well-positioned to improve sharply. His recent form is poor, but the class drop could spark a form reversal.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.50 · Andrew Calder

His form is trending upward with a second and fifth in his last two starts, and he has a strong record on good tracks. While the wide barrier is a concern, the moderate-fast tempo should allow him to find a position midfield and utilize his strong finishing burst.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.35 · Shae Wilkes

Uncle Harry brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win at Port Macquarie followed by a close 2nd at this track and distance just two weeks ago. He's proven at Newcastle with multiple placings and drops significantly in class while maintaining the same weight. His ability to handle soft conditions and consistent recent performances make him the standout selection.

Our price $4.60 · SP $7.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Alpine Kandy brings strong wet track credentials with multiple wins on soft and heavy going. She's second-up today where she has a solid record and should improve significantly from her first-up run. While she's rising slightly in class, her overall consistency and affinity for rain-affected tracks make her a genuine winning chance, especially if the track remains soft.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Lee Magorrian

Bluebird Bay brings solid recent form with consistent performances in his last few starts. The gear change removing blinkers could help him settle better over this trip.
