Horse Racing Tips for Newcastle 16/2/26

Shayne Montgomery heads to Newcastle with a strong seven-race card mapped out on a Good 4 surface.

With the rail in the true position, punters can expect a fair deck where runners settling on-speed or within striking distance should get every opportunity.

Montgomery has mixed value runners with a couple of higher-confidence plays, targeting races where map and tempo look to fall into place.
