Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Against The Wind gets the nod at Newcastle, sharing the top rating in our figures at 100 and holding an edge over most of this 13-runner sprint field. The 5f on the all-weather should suit a runner of this calibre, and with several rivals rated 88 or lower he looks to have a useful cushion over the back half of the line-up. Gaeli is the chief danger on an identical rating, while Adrestia (97) and Germanic (94) are also capable of getting involved if the pace falls their way. Against The Wind is the pick, with his share of the top rating enough to edge the verdict.
Runners
Ryan Sexton
Julie Camacho 1/24
Germanic arrives in decent shape after a third last time out, a winner four starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, so he is a clear threat from stall seven. The main risk is a stable cold at 1/23 over the last 14 days.

Tom Eaves
Simon Crisford 1/9
Adrestia is a leading danger on ratings, with our figure of 97 ranking her third of 13, and she shows a second two starts back, comes here fresh after 27 days and has run over today's trip. The risk is that she is winless in her last six and was only sixth last time out.

David Allan
Michael Dods 2/24
Tatterstall won last time out and has been in the first three in two of his other recent starts, though an unplaced run two starts back shows some inconsistency. He has run over today's trip and going, but 48 days off and 132 lb from draw 5 temper the appeal, with our rating ranking him seventh of thirteen.

Kevin Stott
Kevin Ryan 2/19
Against The Wind is the one to beat on our numbers, rated 100 and ranked first of 13, and he has run over today's trip and going before, though a ninth last time out and 48 days off are reservations. He is yet to win in his last five, with a third five starts back his best finish.

Cam Hardie
Philip Kirby 1/17
Gaeli's our second-ranked runner of 13 on a rating of 100, a clear ten pounds above his official 90, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so the profile fits. The risk is a form line of fifth, unplaced, unplaced, sixth, fifth and sixth, leaving him yet to win in that spell.

Paul Mulrennan
Ruth Carr 1/21
Alligator Alley has slipped to an eighth and a ninth in his last two starts after winning five starts back, and a 117-day break plus a cold stable (1/20 lately) add to the doubts. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 91 sits above his official 88.

Elyam arrives on a hat-trick bid after winning last time out and two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, though a 34-day break and 128 lb from draw 13 temper the case. Our rating of 93 ranks him sixth of 13.

Edward Greatrex
Robert Cowell 2/10
Michaela's Boy was second last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he's managed just one win in his last six, and that came five starts back, with a fifth and a fourth since. Rated 88 by us, he ranks 11th of 13, so he's hard to fancy off 125 lb after 34 days off.

P. J. McDonald
Simon Pearce 0/3
Forager rates the outsider on our figures, ranked last of 13, and her form is patchy with a seventh and a ninth in the last five, though a win two starts back and a fourth last time out show she can step up. She has run over today's trip and going, and 24 days off is fine.

Sir Yoshi is fit and fresh after 13 days, with a third two starts back and experience over today's trip and going, but he is winless in his last six and was only fifth last time. Our rating of 93 sits well above his official 83, though the form is patchy from draw 10.

Paddy's Day is winless in his last six, though a third last time out and a recent run 14 days ago keep him ticking over; he has run over today's trip and going, but a ranking of 12th of 13 on our figures makes him hard to fancy from stall 12.

Richard & Peter Fahey 3/42
Vintage Clarets sits fourth last time out and is fresh from a quick 13-day turnaround, having run over today's trip and going, but he's yet to win in his last six starts and has finished sixth or worse in four of them. Our rating of 90 puts him ninth of 13, so it's a midfield profile.

Joanna Mason
Michael Appleby 5/24
Winning last time out and just 18 days ago, he arrives fresh enough and has run over today's trip and going, but a patchy record of a sixth and a ninth in his last six starts makes him hard to fancy, and our figures rank him only tenth of 13.
