Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sprinting Speed gets the nod in a modest Class 6 contest at Newcastle, heading our ratings on 63 and narrowly ahead of Maynora on 61, so this is no formality. Maynora is the chief danger, with Territorial Star on 60 and Clasina on 58 also well capable of making this a tight finish. Lanarra and the rest look to have plenty to find, which leaves Sprinting Speed to edge it on the figures. Sprinting Speed is the selection.

John Berry 0/1
Clasina has a win four starts back and a third five starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 58 ranks her fourth of nine. The risk is a recent slide, with a ninth two starts back and unplaced last time out, 25 days ago.

William Pyle
Craig Lidster 0/13
Maynora makes a solid case as a leading danger, having run over today's trip and going before, and a second four starts back shows he can get involved, while our rating of 61 ranks him second of nine from draw 1. The risk is a seventh last time out only one day ago, so fitness and a quick turnaround are the question.

Jack Callan
Jennie Candlish 3/28
Sprinting Speed has been well beaten in recent starts, but he has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 63 puts him top of this field of nine, well clear of his official mark of 54. He is yet to win in his last six, though 29 days off should have him fresh from stall 3.

Rebecca Menzies 0/12
Territorial Star is ranked third of nine on our figures at 60, six points above her official mark of 54, and she's fresh from a run 14 days ago with experience of today's trip and going. The main risk is a winless record in her last six, with a seventh last time out.

R. Mike Smith 0/11
Lanarra comes in on a good run, second last time out, a third two starts back and a winner three starts back, and she's fresh from a 14-day break, having run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 130 lb from stall 6 and ranked fifth of nine by our rating, she may find a few too good.

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 5/26
Toy Soldier is winless in his last six, finishing eighth last time out after two fifths, and he has run over today's trip and going, which helps. Fresh enough after 17 days, he races off 128 lb from stall 2, but those form figures give him plenty to prove.

Miss Raincloud is winless in her last five, finishing seventh last time out, and a 170-day absence adds to the doubts. She has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 126 lb from stall nine, and with our rating of 43 ranking her seventh of nine, she is hard to fancy.

Mystic Wave is winless in her last four, finishing ninth on her last two starts, and she's hard to fancy off an official mark of 35 while ranked last of nine on our figures. She has at least run over this trip and going before and is back quickly after 14 days.

Stephen Hanlon 1/6
Nefyn Queen is winless in her last five, unplaced in four of them and a sixth four starts back, and she turns out again just a day after her last run. Official rating of 34 and 124 lb from draw 5 give little to work with, though she has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 27 ranks her eighth of nine.
