Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine
RedstoneWell won with authority last start. Finds the right race to go on with things. Touristic has been around the mark and should prove hard to hold out against this lot. EtnaRosso doesn’t win out of turn but has the class edge on this field. Strathtay should be around the mark and hails from the leading camp. Luncies does no work from the barrier and finds the right race to break through.
2024 Newcastle Gold Cup Runner by Runner
1. Luncies (1)
Maps to do no work from the draw and put the writing on the wall last start. Should prove hard to beat from the barrier.
2. Sir Lucan (5)
Can’t have.
3. Redstone Well (7)
Big winner last start and can go on with things. Faces a field with more depth but is racing in good fashion and looks around the right price.
4. Touristic (2)
Has been knocking on the door and finds the right race to break through. Drawn for a kind run in transit and looks suitable odds to give this a shake.
5. Wyclif (8)
Poor winning record but comes off the back of a solid second. Racing well and is placed nicely against these.
6. Strathtay (8)
Gets in with a winnable weight and 2/4 with the jockey aboard. Well placed against these with even luck from the draw.
7. Think ‘N’ Fly (3)
Can’t have.
8. Canberra Legend (4)
Needs to lift on form to give this a shake. Can’t have.
9. Etna Rosso (6)
Has been around the mark all prep and was solid behind Luncies. Looks placed nicely in this field and should prove hard to beat.
