Newcastle Racecourse is the destination for NSW racing on Tuesday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program lined up in the hunter region. The track is rated a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances, however, with some drying conditions forecast leading into race-day, punters can expect an upgrade into the Soft range. The rail is out +3m the entire circuit, with the opening event scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm local time.
Best Bet at Newcastle: Format
Format needed the run returning at Newcastle on Boxing Day and should strip fitter heading into this second-up assignment. He never shirked the task first-up despite coming off a 215-day spell, clinging onto a third-place finish behind Pretty Powerful. The blinkers have been applied by the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott barn, and with Format likely to ping the lids from stall three, expect this guy to keep finding as he stretches out to the mile for the first time.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#5 Format (3)
3yo Colt | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Adam Hyeronimus (57.5kg)
+400 with Neds
Next Best at Newcastle: Sukida
Sukida will have her first start since being transferred to the Richard & Will Freedman stable and appears ready to strike after claiming victory in a recent barrier trial at Rosehill on January 7. The daughter of Supido was ridden cold before launching in the final furlong, showing a blistering turn-of-foot to secure the trial win. Expect Kerrin McEvoy to drop back in search of cover from gate 11, and provided Sukida has even luck when asked for the ultimate effort, she will be fighting out the finish at a good price with BlondeBet.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#5 Sukida (11)
4yo Mare | T: Richard & Will Freedman | J: Kerrin McEvoy (56.5kg)
+550 with BlondeBet
Best Value at Newcastle: Hoo Haa
Hoo Haa was ridden upside down in her latest outing at Taree on January 7, attempting to lead throughout before fading in the concluding stages. She was much better two starts back when cuddled up behind horses, unleashing an impressive turn-of-speed to finish second behind Summer Soiree. Gate three should allow Anna Roper to take a stalking position throughout the journey, and provided she can accelerate in the testing conditions, Hoo Haa will be there at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers when the whips are cracking.
Best Value
Race 1 – 
#7 Hoo Haa (3)
4yo Mare | T: Mark Cross | J: Anna Roper (a1.5) (57kg)
+1400 with Picklebet
