Newcastle Bags Race 4

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $915

KNOCKALTON DUZA (6) followed a moderate fifth in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a sound third last start, beaten 0.8 lengths, in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.29). Returns to a handicap and will start off scratch. Talented handicapper who has nine wins and 14 placings from 29 runs from the staggered start. Better effort last time and is the one they have to overcome. RAT AND CUTTER (4) progressing nicely. Opened the campaign with a third in a handicap at this track then got the prize last time by one length in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.65). Returns to the handicaps here and will be starting off 4m. In strong form and rates a key chance here. COOLEMORE GANG (1) is struggling to find form this time in. Modest effort to finish fifth two runs back at this track then only managed fifth, beaten 6 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (30.39). Back to the handicaps now and will break from the 6m mark. Capable of a lot better. ROMEO ROCKSTAR (5) followed a minor placing when off 4m in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fourth last start, beaten 4.5 lengths, in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.28). Back to a handicap this time and will start off scratch. Cannot be ruled out after one bad run.

Makes her handicap debut and jumps with a 6m advantage. Could only manage sixth last start over 480m in an A7 at this track (30.07). This looks tough - others rate better.
