6.40pm Newcastle Tips & Betting Preview 19/04/2018

The third race on Newcastle’s Thursday card is a tricky little fillies’ handicap, a contest that isn’t overly easy to assess. Lumi, who came home in front over C&D in February, merits respect, while both Elixsoft and Shrewd Approach should go well. However, at the prices, preference is for PUCHITA, who may just be the value call. Antony Brittain’s runner has taken well to running on the all-weather and, having kept on strongly for third at Wolves (7f) last time out, she’s taken to do even better now stepped up to a mile.
