Newcastle Bags Race 12

#Lovethedogs Stakes

Prize Money: $931

TOO FUNKY (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when third in an A4 at this track (29.56) and making it four straight placings. Tough to beat on best. SWIFT LEON (5) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Coppice Cochise (29.99) in a HCP. Has ability and can atone. ALL ON ICE (3) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fifth (29.51) at this track. Has ability and can measure up. TROY SMOKIN JOE (4) should be thereabouts.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.56). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Latest effort finished last over 480m at this track beaten 8 lengths (29.83) behind Blackhouse Sally in a HCP on July 8. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

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.
