Newcastle Bags Race 4

Newcastle Greyhounds Spring Handicap Competition

Prize Money: $860

CAHERMONE BEST (6) has been racing well of late. Won two starts back when jumped from scratch in a handicap at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 480m (28.92). Returns to handicapping here and breaks from the back. Genuine handicapper who has two wins and four placings from seven runs from the staggered start. Can continue the fine run of form as he switches back to handicapping. COOLAVANNY DREW (5) is a consistent performer who placed last time over 480m at this track in an A2, beaten 3.5 lengths (29.22). Transitioning to a handicap for the first time and will be starting off 3m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. ALNWICK MEGAN (4) has been mixing her form in handicaps. Nice effort to finish second two runs back when started off 5m at this track then only managed fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start when off 5m at this track over 480m (29.55). Today jumps with a 7m advantage. Should be thereabouts. CROOKS FEARGHAL (2) is a newcomer to the handicap scene and will enjoy the 11m start. Brings sound form to this contest, with a last start second (29.64) in an A7 over 480m at this track. Not to be underestimated.

Not far away last start in A7 company, finishing second over 480m at this track (29.64). Begins his handicap career here and will enjoy the 11m start. Looks suited here and is among the chances.

Too good latest winning by 3 lengths over 480m (29.52) at this track A7. Makes handicap debut and will break from the 9m mark. In form but needs to find even more.

Consistent type who placed last time over 480m at this track in an A2, beaten 3.5 lengths (29.22). Moving to a handicap for the first time and has a 3m start on the scratch dog. Should be in this for a long way.
