Newcastle Bags Race 5

Newcastle Greyhounds On Sky Sports Racing Stakes

Prize Money: $873

OUR CHIEF (4) could not have been more impressive last start in his sharp 29.10 win at this track in an A4 over 480m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. CROOKS STEVIE (5) has had a slow start to this campaign in two runs but will appreciate the drop in grade. Unplaced first up at this track then finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, in an A2 at this track last start over 480m (29.39). Better suited here and cannot be underestimated. SAFE VISION (6) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (29.40) at this track. Has ability and can measure up. BALLYMAC NEEMS (1) in the money here last time and looks a top-three prospect again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A3 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Good performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by nose at this track over 480m (29.10). Can make it two on the bounce.
