Scroll down for our Monday racing tips on February 16th, featuring Newcastle best bets.
FLYING TRUFFLES is second up and primed to strike at Newcastle today.
She hinted at ability prior to debuting and worked home well to fill the minors here at her first competitive start.
With natural improvement, she can begin her rise through the grades today.

VIDIA returns to action in a winnable race today.
Vidia didn’t record a win during her brief debut prep but did improve for competitive starts, while she’s had the benefit of a handful of trials ahead of today’s return.
On exposed form, she looks the one to beat.
| 11. Vidia (2) J: Andrew Adkins 56.5kg 64xT: Michael Freedman |
SHIRLEY’S TRIBUTE is another first up galloper that looks well placed to win today at Newcastle.
We haven’t seen Shirley’s Tribute at the races since August, but she was a smart winner on debut and went for a break after just one more start.
She’s had the benefit of a couple of trials, and we know she can perform well fresh.
| 5. Shirley’s Tribute (4) J: Ashley Morgan 60.5kg 16xT: Bjorn Baker |
PICCADERRO takes winning form into another nice race at Newcastle.
The son of Pierro’s form tapered off at the end of his last prep, but he returned to action with a stylish performance to break his maiden at Port Macquarie.
This is harder, but he’s open to plenty of improvement and it does look the next logical step for him to take.
