Newcastle Bags Race 4

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $890

ALNWICK BETTY (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.11) last time in an A7 at this track. Can bounce back. BRAMBLE EMERALD (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 29.52 beating Gravenberch. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Hard to fault recent form and looks a key chance again. HOWTIMEFLYS (1) took advantage of the inside draw and gave a big sight in front when second and beaten a neck (29.57) at this track in a HCP over 480m. Must be included in calculations. SOLWAY HEIDI (3) generally performs well over this distance.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in a HCP at this track over 480m (29.57), beaten a neck. Sure to play a major role.

Finished fifth in an A7 over 480m at this track (30.11) last time out. Finished fifth in her only other try in a handicap. Will start off 8m. Can play a big role.

Makes her handicap debut and will start off 6m. Could only manage fourth last start over 480m in an A5 at this track (29.80). May be suited here and is among the chances.
