Newcastle Bags Race 8

The Future Of Racing: PGR TV Stakes

Prize Money: $760

FINE BY ME (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.28 beating BLACKHOUSE FLOCK. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Well placed and will be tough to beat. BRAMBLE HARVEY (2) followed an A2 win two back with a fourth, beaten 12 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 480m (30.18) last time. Suited here and on win two back looks a leading player. ALNWICK HAWK (4) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (29.46) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Leading chance again. BLACKHOUSE FLOCK (5) warrants respect following a recent placing from the same draw.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by neck at this track over 480m (29.28). Can make it two on the bounce.

Last start finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 12 lengths (30.18) behind Atlantas Blu in an A2 on March 21. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort to score last start by one length over 480m at this track in 29.46, beating A Bit Of Betty. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 480m at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.
