Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Tuesday's meeting at Newcastle.
TRACK
Good 4
TRACKWALKER
Seems fair across the track with lane 1 small penalty. We’d suggest pace is the most likely determinant with outside lead and one out one back the best spots on an even tempo
BARRIERS
900m – Chute start with one turn into the straight making wide gates of little importance
1200m – Short run into final bend, wide gates can be tricky
PRIDE ON THE LINE
Joe Pride has a lifetime strike rate of 17% but that figure jumps to 23% when he takes horses to Newcastle. He’s also saddled up 3 winners from 9 runners over the past 7 days
NIC ASHMAN TIP
RACE 3 NO.8 SHALATIN $1.75
“TBF ratings database indicates Shalatin has a conservative 3 lengths on his rivals here. Providing he doesn’t go backwards off his two runs this prep then it’d mean a rival horse would have to improve significantly to beat him”
Good luck!
