Provincial racing heads to Newcastle on Saturday. Expecting an advantage to be off rails in running and wider lanes in the straight. Track is currently rated a heavy 9.
Newcastle R6 8. Hinchinjive
Going well this prep, relishing the heavy ground. Better horse when on speed. Figures to be very competitive and gets all favours from the draw in a race without much speed.

Newcastle R7 14. Simpkin
First start for the new stable and ran some superb late splits. Won 1L at Tamworth over 1200m after getting well back behind a slow speed. Backed into $2.8 there. Fresh there and kept fresh here, should find the better part of the track late.
