Newcastle Racing Tips for Tuesday, May 19th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Newcastle on Tuesday, which includes seven races at the quality midweek meeting.

Punters get value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:35) Dailey Family Funerals C1 (900m)

#1 – Close to Midnight @ $2.60

BET NOW

Close to Midnight has superior form for this level of racing, having placed at Caulfield last preparation.

The four-year-old son of I Am Invincible has changed stables, and that could result in a resuming win on Tuesday at Newcastle.

Having Zac Lloyd riding helps, so put him clearly on top.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 2. (13:10) Davali Thoroughbreds Maiden (1850m)

#4 – Scoop the Pool @ $6.50

BET NOW

Punters get value odds with Scoop the Pool, who kicked off this preparation with three consecutive placings.

The three-year-old son of Super Seth owns four placings overall, including two at Newcastle, and this race is there for the taking.

He’s good enough to beat the odds-on favourite with the right run.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:50) New FM Maiden (1500m)

#7 – Solid @ $5.50

BET NOW

Solid is a solid bet after recording placings at Hawkesbury and Illawarra Grange, and we thought his odds would be shorter.

The three-year-old son of Wootton Bassett was only a half-length behind Above the Law last start, which should be a good form guide.

We recommend taking the odds before late money comes for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:25) A-Plus Contracting & Poly Welding Maiden (1300m)

#8 – Reschs Milk @ $5.00

BET NOW

Money has come for the Kris Lees-trained Reschs Milk, who hasn’t been too far away in recent trial efforts.

The three-year-old filly by Farnan is bred to show early speed, and drawing barrier two could be enough to see her go close, with the current favourite drawn very wide.

Take the each-way odds, which are holding firm.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:05) Sharp Office BM64 (1400m)

#5 – I Am Adonis @ $2.90

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is I Am Adonis, who was far too good for a small field at Wyong when winning by 3.5 lengths.

The three-year-old son of I Am Invincible has shown good ability throughout his career and we have him scoring another win.

The odds are better than expected, so include him in picks.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 6. (15:40) Hungerford Hill Wine Cup BM68 (1600m)

#11 – Off the Scale @ $10.00

BET NOW

Lou Mary lines up Off the Scale, who won well at Taree two back before finishing fourth in heavy conditions last time out.

The four-year-old mare has yet to fire in three attempts at Newcastle, but she could take advantage of the lack of depth to this field.

Barrier two with 55.5kg on her back should take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:20) The Prince of Merewether BM64 (1200m)

#5 – Tuscany @ $4.50

BET NOW

Form is with Tuscany, who has two wins and two placings this prep, including wins at Newcastle and Kembla Grange.

The three-year-old son of Zoustar also ran second at Randwick in a tough field, which was followed by a win, so the form checks out.

$4.50 is a good price, which should shorten on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units
