We have expert betting tips for the cards this Friday at Newcastle and Pakenham.

There is plenty of value available with bookmakers at the Friday meetings and we have our best bets across the two cards.

Newcastle

—

Race 2. (13:45) Bella Group Paul Perry 2YO (1300m)

#1 – Tom Kitten @ $4.20

Tom Kitten comes off a win at Warwick Farm and we expect that form to stack up nicely.

The James Cummings-trained two-year-old won by a half-length, which followed a fourth on debut at Flemington.

He jumps from a tricky but he has class.

Race 3. (14:20) N.Z Bloodstock Provincial Maiden (1600m)

#8 – Higher Hand @ $2.60

Higher Hand comes off consecutive placings and he could cap off that form with a win.

The Nathan Doyle stable has been going well this season and we think it’s only a matter of time before he wins.

The son of Dundeel demands attention and the odds are fair.

Race 4. (14:55) Kloster Motor Group Maiden (1200m)

#9 – Pereille @ $2.30

Pereille has been backed and beaten in all five career starts, but he hasn’t been disgraced with five placings.

The Cummings-trained colt didn’t enjoy the heavy surface when running second behind Cool Jakey last start, so he could bounce back.

Having Tim Clark is ideal and punters should expect him to be sent forward.

Race 7. (16:50) Horsepower Newcastle Stakes (1400m)

#3 – Cross Talk @ $2.25

Cross Talk wasn’t far behind the winner fresh up when second, so that was a nice fresh effort.

The former New Zealander owns five wins and five placings from 11 starts, so he is always around the mark.

Getting in with 54.5kg makes him tough to beat.

Pakenham

—

Race 1. (18:15) 9Mile Fresh Maiden (1000m)

#8 – Explosive Rosie @ $2.60

Explosive Rosie had good betting support on debut when running third at Pakenham.

The betting support has come again and she didn’t have all favours on that occasion, so we’re not surprised.

Barrier five is ideal and she has massive upside.
