Newcastle Bags Race 1

Friday 29Th August 2025

Prize Money: $772

SWIFT ZEN (2) was narrowly beaten last time, jumping from this same trap when a nose second in an A6 over 480m at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close. ALNWICK WRIGHTY (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.75 lengths last start at this track over 480m (29.63). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. SOLWAY AUSSIE (4) finished fourth last time (29.83) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Has a strong winning record here. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Shapes as one to consider. HIGHCLERE COUGAR (5) has been in great recent form scoring two on end, the latest an A7 by 5 lengths at this track over 480m (29.50). Tackles tougher grade here but in form and looks a contender again.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Neon Puns Gravel in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Forward showing expected.

Recorded a 2.75 lengths win (29.63) in an A7 last time over 480m at this track. Strong record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
