The Punt Acca: Lee Sharp's horse racing tips at Newcastle and Wolverhampton on Tuesday

Two horses to include in a multiple on Tuesday . . .


Great Colaci (4.25 Newcastle)

Newcastle has been a fantastic hunting ground for Great Colaci and connections. The 11-year-old has picked up eight wins from 40 starts at the track, which is quite remarkable considering all of these would have come in competitive handicaps. At his peak, he was rated as high as 73. As he's gotten older, he has stepped up in trip and has mostly been running over a mile and a half over the last year. He ran over a mile last time, but that was in a handicap and he has been dropped into classified stakes company today. He is one of only two horses rated 50, so he will be racing against lower-rated rivals off level weights, which gives him an excellent chance of picking up another course win.

Our Absent Friends (6.30 Newcastle)

Will be his first run for 190 days, but he won here last year after a similar absence, so he has no issues running well first time out. He is quite lightly raced for a five-year-old sprinter with only nine starts, three of which he has won. He won on his last start at Ayr, where he upset the odds at 22-1. That looks like a good win on paper. The second Manila Scouse was rated 79 at the time and won a few races not long after and also placed in some big handicaps. Dropped down to Class 4 company, this race looks like a good opportunity for Our Absent Friends to start his season with a win.
