Newcastle race 2 (900m) 1:25 pm

It’s normally a poor judgement thing to tip against a $1.35 fav but it is worth a $20 ticket on ZOUCAT here I think. Unraced but trialled really well last week. Is in Ciaron Maher stable and has been backed overnight. Quinella him with the fav Hawker Hall.

Newcastle race 4 (1250m) 2:35 pm

If you can get $2.20 or better get on MIGNONETTE. Beautifully bred, has raced just once for a solid 4th and is ready to go bang. Looks city grade.

I have looked over this field and I just can’t my mind. I suspect the topweight FLYING FROM ABOVE jumps from this outside draw quite quickly, crosses the field and leads all the way from Khaznah who should run on. Quinella them.

Now into his 3rd start I think this 3YO BLUE COWBOY can fly home late and round them all up. At 2nd run, also in this grade, he got well back over 1400m and ran on into 4th. Longer trip here, fitter and more experience, he looks the play for mine from the fav Dancing Dolly who is consistent.

Whenever you see a lot of money flooding in for a horse to be ridden by Blake Shinn – get on. We have one here in the appropriately named QUANTUM IMPACT. He’s 3rd up and they have jumped out of the trees to back him.
