Newcastle Tips May 19
Dailey Family Funerals Midway Class 1 Handicap Tips (Race 1)
Newcastle Favourite - Race 1 No. 1 Close To Midnight
There is plenty to like about the gelding, who has shown he can be competitive in stronger races than he tackles here.
Close To Midnight recorded a number of good efforts during 2025, including a second-place finish over 1000m at Caulfield Heath in May.
Beaten less than a length in that Benchmark 64 contest on a Good surface, the gelding made only two further starts for the year.
His most recent appearance came in November when finishing seventh over the same track and trip first-up from a spell.
The son of I Am Invincible has since joined James Harding and looks capable of returning with a victory at Class 1 level.
New FM/2HD Maiden Plate Tips (Race 3)
Newcastle Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 8 Sur Nova Centauri
The US-bred showed up well in three European starts last year, placing in the top three on each occasion.
His best effort came when beaten just under two lengths over 1408m at Southwell in October.
Sur Nova Centauri had also performed strongly behind a pair of useful types in a 1609m maiden at Yarmouth on his second appearance.
Two encouraging Warwick Farm trials have followed ahead of his Australian debut for Richard Litt.
An inside draw appeals and the Not This Time colt looks well placed to break through first-up for the stable.
Sharp Office Benchmark 64 Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Newcastle Value Bet - Race 5 No. 9 Miss Capitale
The daughter of Capitalist has shown a liking for wet tracks in the past, including a Class 2 victory on the Beaumont circuit here in February.
That success came over 1200m when Miss Capitale scored by nearly a length.
Several solid efforts in stronger company on Good ground have followed since that Newcastle win.
Her latest appearance saw the mare beaten narrowly over 1300m at Illawarra Grange a fortnight ago.
The rise in distance looks suitable and the four-year-old appeals despite a wide barrier draw.
The Prince Of Merewether Benchmark 64 Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Newcastle Best Bet - Race 7 No. 3 Three Arrows
The three-year-old showed plenty of ability last campaign, winning two of three starts.
His only defeat came on debut when beaten just over half-a-length into third over 1250m in October.
Three Arrows then broke through over 1300m at this venue on a Soft 6 surface.
A strong Hawkesbury Class 1 victory followed before the gelding headed to the paddock.
The Randwick trial win on May 4 should have him ready to fire first-up under Zac Lloyd.
