Fine By Me is the form horse in this contest with a superb recent record. An 81 performance last time followed by 69 and 65 — consistently strong at A3 level with the class to handle this grade comfortably. She's an all-rounder from the second-strongest trap position, with trap 1 winning 21.3% from 258 runs. Her pace profile suits Newcastle perfectly — balanced enough to sit handy and strong enough to sustain her effort through the finish. Good suitability scores with track suit 43, distance suit 42 and trap suit 47 all ticking boxes. The trainer runs at a solid 22%. This is the most bankable selection on the card — the best dog in the field from a strong structural position with a running style that suits the track.
