Newcastle Bags Race 5

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $768

DROOPYS TURF (3) was always prominent from this same draw last time and boxed on well to place (29.93) in an A8 over 480m at this track. Rates a top chance. ROWINGTON RUBY (4) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (31.08) last time in an A8 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. SWIFT ZEN (2) jumped well from this trap last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (30.10) in an A8 at this track over 480m. Harder here but expected to measure up. DROMBEG OLIVE (6) is down a grade after finishing sixth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 480m (30.63). Watch for a better run this easier company.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Looks tested in this company.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 480m (30.10), beaten 2.25 lengths. In reasonable form and should play a big role.
