Newcastle - Race 1 - Central Coast Granite Maiden Plate - 900m

Selections:
9. Goldane - $2.00
8. Gamp - $3.00
2. Mailata - $6.50

BEST BET - Goldane - $2.00
Bjorn Baker puts Goldane out there for all to see in this one and this is a horse that comes with a serious reputation. Running over 900m is always a bit of a lottery and anything could happen in theory but Goldane is a serious candidate.

THE DANGER - Gamp - $3.00
By contrast, Gamp is well versed in contests at this level and it could potentially break its duck at the 8th time of asking. It has been steadily improving in recent weeks and it could have enough pace to get over the line.

VALUE BET - Mailata - $6.50
Three runs without a win don't tell the whole story for Mailata, who has looked impressive in all of them and who should be refreshed following a long break. Hitting the ground running over 900m will be key though.

Newcastle - Race 5 - Bungree Aboriginal Handicap - 1500m

Selections:
1. Fire Tribe - $2.80
4. Rockbarton Flash - $4.50
5. Zousain Bolt - $4.80

BEST BET - Fire Tribe - $2.80
Consistency has been at the heart of Fire Tribe's performances this term and this should be a great chance to pick up a first win of the campaign. It has come close on plenty of occasions but is the stand out in this field.

THE DANGER - Rockbarton Flash - $4.50
Winning impressively last time out is a huge tick in the box for Rockbarton Flash, a horse that has the credentials to tear it up in this one and if it gets a run, it could be very difficult to stop.

VALUE BET - Zousain Bolt - $4.80
Whilst form this season hasn't been ground breaking for Zousain Bolt, the fact remains that this is a very good horse, who should be undeterred by conditions at Newcastle and it is a decent price to be in the mix.

Newcastle - Race 6 - Pirtek Central Coast Midway - 900m

Selections:
2. Curl Curl - $4.40
5. Shall Be - $6.00
8. Willingale - $9.00

BEST BET - Curl Curl - $4.40
A welcome break ahead of this one should see Curl Curl refreshed and ready to go. The 900m trip leaves very little room for error but this is a horse that should be winning contests such as this at Newcastle.

THE DANGER - Shall Be - $6.00
With just three runs under its belt, Shall Be is an unknown quantity here but this could be the ideal type of contest. It too has had some time away from the track and should be chomping at the bit to get going here.

VALUE BET - Willingale - $9.00
Form has been excellent in the Perry yard of late and Willingale is the latest offering from them. It too has been out of action for a while but won in its last race and should relish the fast and furious trip.
