Newcastle races preview, tips & quaddie | Wednesday, April 24
| What | Newcastle Races |
| Where | Newcastle Racecourse – 100 Darling St, Broadmeadow NSW 2292 |
| When | Wednesday, April 24, 2024 |
| First Race | 12:50pm AEST |
Provincial racing on Wednesday heads to the Hunter region of New South Wales, where Newcastle Racecourse is set to host a competitive eight-race program. The rail is out +7m for the entire circuit, and although the surface is rated Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, the forecast of sunny skies in the lead-up promises an upgrade into the Good range. The opening event is set to jump at 12:50pm AEST.
Best Bet: Moonraker
Moonraker was ordinary at Randwick on December 16, finishing last of six runners on debut. He was immediately tipped out for a spell by the Peter & Paul Snowden camp and returns on the back of two eye-catching barrier trials. His latest one-length trial victory on April 8 has him poised to strike first-up, and provided Christian Reith can send the two-year-old to the front, Moonraker will give a bold sight throughout the 900m journey.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#2 Moonraker (5)
2yo Colt | T: Peter & Paul Snowden | J: Christian Reith (57kg)
Next Best: Zoubaby
The Richard & Will Freedman-trained Zoubaby makes her debut on the back of two strong barrier trials. The daughter of Zoustar travelled home under her own steam in her most recent outing at Randwick on April 8, giving the impression she has above-average ability. Gate one should allow Tyler Schiller to lead or take a sit in behind the speed, but regardless of where she ends up in the run, Zoubaby should be finishing off best.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#10 Zoubaby (1)
2yo Filly | T: Richard & Will Freedman | J: Tyler Schiller (55.5kg)
Next Best Again: Mogul Monarch
Mogul Monarch was no match for Seascape on debut at Gosford on April 10, but the colt showed enough to suggest he’s worth following second-up. He sat outside the leader and stuck to the task gamely, holding off all other challengers in the shadows of the post. He will be much better for the race-day experience, and although there is plenty of depth in this 1250m maiden, Mogul Monarch warrants an each-way ticket with online bookmakers.
Next Best Again
Race 7 – 
#12 Mogul Monarch (11)
2yo Colt | T: Kim Waugh | J: Rory Hutchings (56kg)
