Newcastle Racecourse horse racing tips and form preview

Newcastle Horse Racing Tips Sat 13/6/26

Three we like at Newcastle today, and the value sits at the back end of the card. Oakfield Neptune in race 8 at $3 is where I’m keenest, an off-pace type with a no-leader race to run at. Soft 7 isn’t doing much to the form, but the pace shape in race 7 makes Attractiveness at $3.80 worth a look too. Honey Perfume at $4.40 in the 5 rounds out a tidy little three-bet card.

2. Honey Perfume $4.40

Barrier 9 · Midfield · Hot pace

Hot pace and the fav is drawn out wide in gate 11. That tells you what’s about to happen. #2 Honey Perfume settles midfield, runs over the top while #4 Silk Lace burns petrol crossing from the carpark draw. Blinkers stay on, Ramsbotham rides, and she’s been knocking on the door with placings. Take her at $4.40 over $3.80 on the fav doing all the work.

Race 7
1250m · Hcp (C1) · 8 runners

2. Attractiveness $3.80

Barrier 6 · Off Pace · No leader

I’m on #2 Attractiveness at $3.80. Cross-over nose band and tongue tie on for the first time, fresh after a win and placing in her last prep. In a no-leader race on a soft 7, #3 Sponars settles in the same spot at a shorter price. No reason to take $3.60.

Race 8Best Bet
1250m · Hcp (Bm68) · 9 runners

4. Oakfield Neptune $3.00

Barrier 9 · Off Pace · No leader

$2.15 for a backmarker in a no-leader race? Not for me. #4 Oakfield Neptune sits closer at $3, second up off a fresh win for Kris Lees with Buckley aboard. On him.
