Newcastle Bags Race 1

Tuesday 3Rd June 2025

Prize Money: $954

PRIVATE EXPRESS (1) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at this track over 480m behind Lump On Col (29.32) in an A3. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ALNWICK NIDGE (3) placed two back in an A3 at this track then was not far away from trap four last start when third (29.10) over 480m at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. MOANTEEN SHADOW (6) shapes well after a useful run last time, finishing second in an A3 at this track in 29.09. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. SWIFT LEON (4) was out of placings last time (29.52) at this track in an A3, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Has already won two times from this trap.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
