Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 28 Journalists Share Posted August 28 What Newcastle Races Where Newcastle Racecourse – 100 Darling St, Broadmeadow NSW 2292 When Thursday, August 29, 2024 First Race 12:45pm AEST Visit Dabble NSW racing returns to the hunter on Thursday afternoon, with a strong eight-race program set for decision. The rail is out +9m the entire circuit, and with clear conditions forecast on Tuesday and Wednesday, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface on raceday. The opening event is scheduled to take place at 12:45pm local time. Best Bet at Newcastle: Copacabana Copacabana got a pass mark returning at this course on August 8 and should appreciate the immediate step up in trip. The son of Toronado finished off strong in the final furlong but ran out of time behind Bauhinia in what looks to be a strong maiden moving forward. Reece Jones gets the perfect opportunity to take closer order from barrier three this time around, and provided Copacabana can show a similar turn-of-foot at 1400m, this guy will present like the winner at some stage. Best Bet Race 2 – #1 Copacabana (3) 4yo Gelding | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Reece Jones (59kg) Bet with Bet365 Next Best at Newcastle: Fioprospero Fioprospero looks ready to step out to the 2200m for the first time on his favourite surface. The Kristen Buchanan-trained gelding has an almost unblemished record at Newcastle, with seven starts for two wins and four minor placings, including a victory two starts back over 1800m. He should relish stepping out in trip after getting too far back at Hawkesbury on August 13, and with Bejamin Osmond taking 3kg off his back after the claim, Fiopropspero should be figuring in the finish once again. Next Best Race 4 – #1 Fioprospero (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Kristen Buchanan | J: Benjamin Osmond (a3) (60kg) Bet with PlayUp Best Value at Newcastle: Mia Ballerina The Chris Waller barn brings a strong contingent of first starters to this wide-open maiden contest, none more intriguing than Mia Ballerina. The daughter of Cosmic Force had to be restrained in both barrier trials at Rosehill, particularly in her latest piece of work being hard held by James McDonald in behind the speed. Sam Clipperton takes the reins on what’s considered one of the lesser chances from the Waller stable, according to horse racing bookmakers. However, at the value, Mia Ballerina warrants plenty of respect.
