Newcastle racing tips
—
Storm Park looks ready to win after two solid efforts this preparation, and he doesn’t have much of a field to beat here.
The four-year-old gelding is in good hands, and the son of Ocean Park gets a valuable 2kg off his back for this run.
This race is there for the taking, so back the favourite.
Stake: 3 Units
Dollars will be tough to beat, but punters get better odds for debutant Brut Nature, who has been patiently handled by connections.
The four-year-old son of Brutal comes off good trial efforts, including a win at Hawkesbury and a placing at Rosehill.
His odds have shortened, and that’s an excellent sign.
Stake: 1 Unit
We are supremely confident with Savvy Hallie, who was scratched last week when we had eight units on her.
The Brad Widdup-trained filly showed good form behind some smart types last preparation, and her maiden win should come on Thursday.
She can get through conditions, so take the $1.65 and include her in multi bets.
Stake: 8 Units
Looking for back-to-back wins is Quein Step, who couldn’t have been more impressive when breaking maidens with a four-length win.
The four-year-old mare by Sidestep makes the rise in class against a much better field, but she looks like a progressive type.
Getting 1.5kg off her back and the inside draw makes her tough to beat.
Stake: 2 Units
Punters get value odds for California Command, who wasn’t all that far away when running fourth at Gosford fresh up.
The Peter Snowden-trained gelding had been looking good at the trials, so he’s nearing an overdue winning performance.
It’s not an overly hard field, so snap up the each-way odds.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Burj capped off consistent form with a win at Wyong, and although it only came by a nose, it was good to see her dig deep.
The Snowden-trained mare owns two wins and two placings, so she has been around the mark throughout her career.
She’s the worthy favourite against this field, so include her in picks.
Stake: 2 Units
Running at value odds is Impressionism, who is better than what he showed fresh up when running sixth at Wyong.
The four-year-old son of Churchill owns a placing second-up, so he typically improves with a run under his belt.
It’s an even field, so getting weight off his back is ideal.
Stake: 1 Unit
Spandex is gunning for three consecutive wins after scoring at Tamworth and Scone, which is solid enough form for this race.
The four-year-old son of Pariah has yet to fire in two starts at Newcastle, but he’s a more mature horse now, and that’s why money has come for him.
It’s an even betting field and he could take advantage.
Stake: 1.5 Units
