Newcastle Bags Race 11

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $854

VELVET BLACK (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (29.89) last time in an A3 at this track. Can make amends. ROMEO BRO (4) could manage only second at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a handy 29.14 over 480m at this track the start prior. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. BRAMBLE PAULINA (1) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 1.75 lengths (29.55) at this track in an A4 over 480m. Will give a great sight again. MORNING FIFI (5) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 9 lengths (29.89) behind Tinnock Sheba in an A3 on July 4. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a one length second (29.75) over 480m at this track last time. Should prove hard to beat.
