Newcastle Bags Race 4

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $873

INCA TAILOR (6) was strongly fancied and drifted back but wound up hard to hit the frame, 4 lengths from the winner (29.31) at this track in HCP. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Likely to be in the finish again. A BIT OF MAUR (5) has mixed her form recently. In the money two back at this track then tackled a handicap when started off 1m at her latest appearance and finished fifth at this track over 480m (29.52). Returns to a handicap here and has a 3m start on the scratch dog. Must be a big chance to make amends. JACKTAVERN JAX (4) has a strong overall record having seven wins and nine places from 24 starts but was out of the money last time when fifth (29.67) over 480m at this track. Tends to go well on this trap. Expected to feature on best form. PROUD ONE (3) has been mixing her form in handicaps. Nice effort to finish second two runs back breaking from 2m at this track then only managed fourth, beaten 5 lengths, last start when started off 2m at this track over 480m (29.38). Today will be starting 8m from the scratch dog. Overall a talented handicapper who has three wins and two placings from eight runs from the staggered start.

Comments

Showed pleasing improvement after a modest run two back with a handicap win starting off 15m at this track over 480m (28.96). Tackles another handicap and has a 13m start on the scratch draw. In form but not keen under this scenario.

Better effort latest. Unplaced fresh then finished second laast time when off 8m in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.76). Will break 11m from scratch. In form but not keen under this scenario.

Has been struggling of late. Finished fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.67). Switches to a handicap and will be starting off 5m.
