Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2022 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2022 What Newcastle Races Where Newcastle Jockey Club – Darling St, Broadmeadow NSW 2292 When Tuesday, August 30, 2022 First Race 1:20pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes Racing in New South Wales on Tuesday heads to Newcastle Racecourse for a competitive seven-part program. HorseBetting’s NSW racing analyst presents his best bets and quaddie numbers for the meeting, which is scheduled to commence at 1:20pm AEST. The track is rated a Soft 7, while the rail is in the +7m position for the entire course. Best Bet at Newcastle – Backrower Backrower was stiff not to win in town a couple of weeks ago, so this Class 1 looks to be at his mercy. Michael Freedman had accepted for the Group 3 Up & Coming Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, but the son of Astern was scratched on race morning and comes to this race instead, which looks a fantastic move. Drawn in barrier two with Tommy Berry back in the saddle, this classy three-year-old will either lead or get the gun run just off the leader. This is much easier than what he has been running in, so we expect Backrower will be winning second-up. Best Bet Race 3 – #1 Backrower (2) 3yo Colt | T: Michael Freedman | J: Tommy Berry (59.5kg) $1.90 with Ladbrokes Next Best at Newcastle – Magic We were with Magic first-up at Hawkesbury and he just had a bit go wrong around the small track from the wide barrier. Now second-up and onto a big track like Newcastle, the three-year-old colt looks perfectly placed. Although yet to win from four starts, the impeccably bred son of Snitzel has been contesting tougher races, including two Group placings as a two-year-old. With the Caulfield Guineas (1600m) this horse’s ultimate goal, connections will be hoping he can get his maiden out of the way at provincial level on Tuesday. While the wide barrier isn’t ideal, there is a fair run into the first turn at Newcastle from the 1300m start, so Brenton Avdulla will have a bit of time to find some cover and allow the horse to be saved for one final shot. He is the class of this field by a long way. Next Best Race 6 – #8 Magic (12) 3yo Colt | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Brenton Avdulla (56.5kg) $2.35 with Palmerbet Best Value at Newcastle – Cool Lad Matthew Smith and Blake Spriggs combine in the last race of the day with four-year-old entire Cool Lad. The son of Al Maher has won only two of his 11 starts, but his recent barrier trials suggest he has come back in brilliant order. After finishing his last preparation with a 10th in the Listed Canberra Guineas, Cool Lad trialled behind Group 1 winner Eduardo before having a good hitout over 1000m in a trial behind Shameonus, who has won four races. It is a slight concern that this horse has drawn so wide on the track, but he tends to show great gate speed, so we expect to see him up outside the leader pretty early on. If they don’t overdo it in front, Cool Lad will be in this for a long way. Best Value Race 7 – #3 Cool Lad (13) 4yo Horse | T: Matthew Smith | J: Blake Spriggs (60kg) $11 with Neds Thursday quaddie picks for Newcastle Newcastle quadrella selections Tuesday, August 30, 2022 3-4 2-6-9-11 8-13 2-3-5 Investment: $48 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
