UPDATE: Newcastle racing kicks off today, October 3, 2023, with multiple exciting races set to unfold. The latest tips and selections have just been announced, offering insights into which horses to watch and bet on.
Racing enthusiasts should pay close attention as Race 1 features Alaskan Bay, a promising debutant who was scratched at the barriers during his planned first start at Tuncurry. After finishing second in a Port Macquarie trial, he starts from the inside gate, giving him an excellent chance to shine today. Keep an eye on 6. Whil To Win and 2. Mariko, who are also expected to perform well.
In Race 2, Logan Downs makes his debut, having shown strong form in recent trials, finishing second at Scone and fourth at Muswellbrook. His stablemate, Lobbyist, also debuts and is anticipated to make a strong showing after being narrowly beaten in her last trial.
Race 3 features El Toro Macho, who is primed for his first start following two solid trials, including a third-place finish in his latest outing. Another contender is Lightning Glory, who won a trial at Wyong and is also making his debut today.
The excitement continues in Race 4, where Power Of The Brave returns after a spell, having previously competed in city races. His experience makes him a top contender against No Statement, who recently scored a victory at this track.
As the day progresses, Race 5 showcases Buckenara, who has shown promise with placements at Randwick and Newcastle. After a solid sixth-place finish in his last race, he is expected to capitalize on his inside position today.
In Race 6, Koios returns from a break, showing potential in his recent trials. The small field and advantageous inside gate could work in his favor, making him a horse to watch alongside Tong Ho, who is coming off a strong second place at Kembla Grange.
Finally, Race 7 features All Hunky Dory, a strong performer who has a favorable record when coming off a break. With a solid recent trial and an apprentice allowance, he could deliver another impressive run today.
For those looking to place bets, the best bets are El Toro Macho in Race 3 and Buckenara in Race 5. Additionally, consider All Hunky Dory as a value bet in Race 7.
