Newsboy's racing tips for Wednesday's four meetings, including Worcester nap

Newsboy expects his nap, Gone In Sixty, to score again at Worcester in the 5.25, and he also rates The Good Biscuit a tasty morsel at Thirsk in the 3.33 GONE IN SIXTY (5.25, nap) can complete back-to-back wins in the five minutes it will take to complete the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester on Wednesday. It took 17 runs for the seven-year-old to open his account but now he has found his form, he can stay on an upward curve. ‌ Under Alice Stevens at Fakenham, Alex Hales's charge benefitted from a patient ride to take the lead before the last hurdle and stretching away to a 14 length victory. ‌ Gone In Sixty has finished either second or third in all five appearances at Worcester and can add a win to that record. At Thirsk THE GOOD BISCUIT (3.33, nb) looks a tasty bet in division one of the 7f handicap. Four of his five starts for Ruth Carr have come over 6f but he could be a different proposition now returned to 7f at this track. He tried the trip back in May when he was given plenty to do yet nevertheless made every effort to make up the ground only to meet traffic over 1f out. He finished seventh, beaten less than five lengths, but now lines up 7lb lower in the handicap. Tuck in. ‌ Wednesday's selections THIRSK 2.03 MAGIC STONE 2.33 FIRST PRINCIPLE 3.03 WOLFPACK 3.33 THE GOOD BISCUIT (NB) 4.03 LEAP DAY 4.38 SIR WILLIAM 5.13 KATS BOB 5.48 CALAFRIO EPSOM DOWNS 6.20 ANNEXATION 6.50 IBSHARA 7.23 NAZRON 7.58 GOLDEN CIRCET 8.30 STINTINO SUNSET 9.00 MARLAY PARK

Newsboy's horseracing tips for Wednesday's four meetings including Worcester NAP

Newsboy likes the look of a last time out winner at Worcester and on the Flat expects Ruth Carr to continue a rewarding campaign at Thirsk GONE IN SIXTY (5.25, NAP) can complete back-to-back wins in the five minutes it will take to complete the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester on Wednesday. It took 17 runs for the seven-year-old to open his account but now he has found his form, he can stay on an upward curve. Under Alice Stevens at Fakenham, Alex Hales's charge benefitted from a patient ride to take the lead before the last hurdle and stretching away to a 14 length victory. ‌ Stevens keeps the ride at Worcester where Gone In Sixty has finished either second or third in all five appearances. Though up 7lb for his last time out success, he can add a win to that record. ‌ At Thirsk THE GOOD BISCUIT (3.33, NB) looks a tasty bet in division one of the 7f handicap. New to the Ruth Carr stable this year, he has run respectably on all five starts without managing to threaten the first three places. Four of those efforts came over 6f but he could be a different proposition now returned to 7f at this track. He tried the trip back in May when he was given plenty to do by Joanna Mason yet nevertheless made every effort to make up the ground only to meet traffic over 1f out. He finished seventh, beaten less than five lengths, but now lines up 7lb lower in the handicap. Tuck in.

2000s electropop group Minuit announce New Zealand reunion tour

This audio is not downloadable due to copyright restrictions. Electropop group Minuit – French for 'midnight' – are set to play a number of reunion shows this winter, including dates in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. The three-piece burst onto the Aotearoa music scene in the early 2000s. Comprised of frontwoman and singer Ruth Carr and multi-instrumentalists and producers Paul Dodge and Ryan Beehre, the group is perhaps best known for their breakthrough album The 88 (2003) and hit single 'Aotearoa' (2009). Frontwoman of electropop group Minuit, Ruth Carr Photo: Dennis Thorpe The distinctive charisma of Carr's voice and her unique vocal style – which Carr has previously said is inspired by Nina Simone – creates a cohesive sound, yet no song is entirely alike. The band spins synth sounds, sub bass and breakbeats into fizzing electro-soundscapes, a heady bed for Carr's catchy vocal melodies. The infectious pulse of a drum machine drives the songs. Minuit put out a total of seven albums from 2003-2012. On later albums, they began to experiment with incorporating more organic and acoustic instruments. The band ultimately called it quits after the release of 2012's long player Last Night You Saw This Band . Ruth Carr joined Maggie Tweedie on Music 101 to chat about Minuit's reunion tour this August and their success in Aotearoa.
