Newcastle Bags Race 6

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $954

BLACKHOUSE SAM (5) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (29.76), beaten 6 lengths. Should bounce back. BLACKHOUSEHARIET (3) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 1.4 lengths behind Bramble Emerald in 29.12 and recording a new PB here. Top run latest and rates a key player again. RAT AND CUTTER (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a HCP winner three back (29.19) at this track over 480m. Well placed here and can atone this time. SLINGSHOT PHIL (6) continued the strong recent form in handicaps when he finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start when starting off scratch at this track over 480m (29.53). Breaks from the back. Will be tough to beat.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score on debut in a HCP by 1.75 len at this track over 480m (29.48). Would be better placed in something easier.

Improved last time out in a handicap and jumping from a 8m advantage, finishing third at this track over 480m (29.12). Has a 5m start on the scratch dog. Can continue the upward trend.

Better effort latest. Unplaced fresh then finished second laast time when started off 4m in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.47). Will be starting off 3m. Might find this a bit too strong.

Is mixing her form recently. Nice effort to finish second two runs back at this track then switched to the handicaps when jumped from scratch and finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 480m (29.76).

Impressive lately in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then third when starting off scratch at this track over 480m (29.53). Will start off scratch. Big chance again.
