Best Bets
Our Newcastle Horse Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Rustic Steel (Newcastle Race 7 No. 1)
This four-year-old Deep Field gelding trained by Kris Lees has three wins and a place from five starts. At the end of last campaign he battled away for 1.19 lengths 3rd over 1300m at Hawkesbury on 14 April, then resumed after 12 weeks with a 0.2 length win over 1150m at Kensington on 7 July, where he ran the best last 800m to 200m race sectional. He has won at this track before and looks a leading chance.

Each Way
Nicci’s Song (Newcastle Race 6 No. 9):
This four-year-old Nicconi mare trained by Graeme Murray at Kembla Grange has four wins and a place from her eight starts. She was leading before being winded late and finishing 3.33 lengths 5th over 1000m at Canberra on 9 April, then led and kicked away for a 3.26 length win on heavy going over 1000m at Goulburn on 30 July. Should race on the speed and looks a solid each-way bet.

Best Lay
Selburose (Newcastle Race 5 No. 2):
This four-year-old I Am Invincible mare trained by Chris Waller has two places and five places from 12 starts and is the early favourite in this F&M BM 72 handicap over 1200m. She led straightening but was run down late for 0.97 length 3rd over 1300m at Kensington on 7 July, then was run down late for 0.4 length 2nd over 1300m at Randwick on 31 July. Goes up in weight and others offer better value.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 29th March 2025
Key Comments There are 7 races and the feature is the $40,000 Chief Minister's Cup over 1600 metres (race 7). The sand track is rated good and the rail remains in the true position. Best Bet Hasseltoff (Alice Springs Race 7 No. 5) In great form winning 5 of 7 races this preparation. Comes off 3 wins in a row all by decent margins and has won both times he’s raced here. Should be winning. Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet was excellent last prep and can resume a winner in the last of the day. Best Bet Alternate (Avoca Race 8 No. 2) Didn't miss the quinella last prep and is an ultra consistent type who should be primed for this first up affair. Can roll forward from the draw and give this a shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way
