Newcastle Bags Race 12

#Lovethedogs Stakes

Prize Money: $673

PATRIOT MISSILE (6) was well fancied as favourite latest and led for much of the way but faded to place, beaten half a length (29.78) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Good form should continue. DIRTY TACKLE (2) is an honest type in the frame at four of nine starts including last time when second (29.71) over 480m at this track. Expected to feature on best form. SOLWAY SPLASH (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when second (29.67) at this track. Expected to feature. SLIPPY POPPY (5) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot from this box most recently.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when second (29.71) over 480m at this track. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A7 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A8 by 2 len at this track over 480m (29.73). This looks too tough.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.80). Not to be underestimated.
