Newcastle Bags Race 1

Thursday 2Nd April 2026

Prize Money: $779

SLINGSHOT LEEONA (5) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 28.96 beating Crooks Gucci. Sure to prove hard to beat. BALLYCIAN BABY (1) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 480m behind Toddys Storm (29.24) in a OR. Was a winner the start prior. Should be about the mark. TAMMY THE BEST (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (29.52) at this track. Leading chance. LORENZOS GREY (2) is a course and distance winner who is right in the equation.

Solid performance after racing on the speed to score in an A2 by 1.0 len at this track over 480m (28.96). Looks the one to beat again.
