Newcastle racing tips

—

Plume hasn’t been too far away in two runs to date, both coming at Kembla Grange, so the form should check out.

The Hawkes-trained mare by Blue Point should enjoy the heavy conditions after running on good surfaces, and she could handle it best.

The early betting support is a good sign, so put her on top.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Indigo Star has been all around the mark this preparation without winning, but the Chris Waller-trained gelding won’t take long.

The four-year-old son of Zoustar owns six placings from 14 starts, including two placings in heavy conditions, which is a good sign.

Punters get odds worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Punters get each-way odds for Arctic Bright, who showed good improvement to finish fourth at Canberra last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Per Incanto found the line nicely last time out, and there isn’t too much depth in this field.

Carrying 55kg could be enough to see her post a win.

Stake: 1 Unit

Fierce couldn’t make it three consecutive wins last time out when running fourth at Rosehill, which is a tidy form guide.

The three-year-old son of Capitalist looked good winning at Hawkesbury and Wyong, and that form is solid for racing at Newcastle.

He carries a big weight, but he is classy enough to handle it.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Bondi Blossom looked good when winning at Gosford last time out before spelling and kicking off over 1400m is ideal.

The three-year-old filly by Bondi has been prepared with two trials where she wasn’t asked for much, and she could save her best for race day.

She runs at double-figure odds, which are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Punters get each-way odds for In Limbo, who won two back at Wyong before finishing second at Hawkesbury.

The three-year-old filly by Hellbent has steadily improved throughout her career, and her second win won’t take long to come.

It’s an even field, and she could capitalise.

Stake: 1 Unit

Shelstein has been well-backed to score following a second placing at Hawkesbury, which is a good form guide for racing at Newcastle.

The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon owns three wins and eight placings from 17 starts, and he doesn’t mind wet tracks.

He’s good enough to include in picks at each-way odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Golden Loom won well at Canterbury three starts back before placing in consecutive runs, and that form is good for provincial racing.

The four-year-old son of Castelvecchio runs his best races on soft tracks, having posted two wins and three placings from five starts.

We’re happy to include him in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units
