Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 11, 2023 Journalists Share Posted April 11, 2023 What Newcastle Races Where Newcastle Racecourse – 100 Darling St, Broadmeadow NSW 2292 When Wednesday, April 12, 2023 First Race 12:50pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes Racing heads to the hunter region of NSW on Wednesday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program. We should have perfect conditions for racegoers with minimal rain forecast for the meeting. Expect a Good 4 surface for race-day and with the rail back in the True position the entire circuit, we should be in for a terrific hump-day of racing. The first race is set to get underway at 12:50pm AEST. Best Bet at Newcastle: Lipscani On a tricky day at Newcastle, Lipscani looks a strong candidate for the best bet of the afternoon. He’s still a two-start maiden but doesn’t look too far off victory based on how he hit the line on both occasions. His latest run at Kembla Grange on March 28 saw him beaten convincingly over the 1200m on a bottomless heavy track, and now finding some firmer footing, we should be seeing the best of this Toronado gelding. We’ve got a good opinion of Hedge Fund who beat him by four-lengths on the line and despite the margin being a significant one, we’re confident Lipscani will give a bold showing on Wednesday afternoon. Zac Lloyd takes the reins back after steering him into third on debut and will be settling somewhere mid-field before powering over the top of his rivals to score a much-deserved win. Best Bet Race 2 – #4 Lipscani (8) 3yo Gelding | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Zac Lloyd (a0) (57kg) $3.20 with Bet365 Next Best at Newcastle: Silvakia Silvakia is one of the more intriguing runners engaged on Wednesday afternoon and we think is a major player back to BM64 company. Her last two starts have been behind some of the best quality three-year-old fillies in the land, as she finished 2.1-lengths off Premise on March 11 at Gosford before heading into Group level company in the Adrian Knox Stakes on April 1. The latter was on a very unsuitable heavy surface and wasn’t disgraced despite what the 7.7-length margin may suggest. Premise has since gone on to run third in last Saturday’s Group 1 Australian Oaks, providing a very strong guide for Silvakia leading into Wednesday. She gets some relief in the weights at 55.5kg compared to some of her key opposition and with the experienced Joshua Parr hopping aboard, we’re getting an outstanding price with online bookmakers to be in her corner. Next Best Race 4 – #11 Silvakia (5) 3yo Filly | T: Mark Newnham | J: Joshua Parr (55.5kg) $6 with Palmerbet Best Value at Newcastle: Per Capita Per Capita represents good each-way value in the third race of the Newcastle program and looks to be peaking third-up for the Annabel Neasham yard. He’s just barely missed the frame in his two times of asking and now finds a perfect assignment over the 1600m. Jett Stanley gets Per Capita down nicely in the weights to 56.5kg after his 2kg claim and would’ve gotten the choice of ride after steering the stablemate Tot Of Rum at Mudgee on April 2. Plenty of runners come through that form-lines and with the positive gate to go along with the swing in the weight, you’d have to imagine Per Capita will give followers a sight. We expect Stanley to either lead them up or drop in behind the leaders for cover, regardless of what he chooses, Per Capita can find the frame to jag punters a return. Best Value Race 3 – #8 Per Capita (3) 3yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Jett Stanley (a2) (58.5kg) $11 with Palmerbet Wednesday quaddie tips for Newcastle races Newcastle quadrella selections Wednesday, April 12, 2023 1-2-10-14 1-6-7 1-2-5-9 3-5-9-14-16 Investment: $240 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
