Newcastle Bags Race 4

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $872

A BIT OF MEGAN (6) won two starts back when off 3m in a handicap at this track then finished out of the money at her latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.35). Returns to a handicap and will jump off scratch. Difficult to tip against on her best form. Expected to atone. STRICTLY MOTSI (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last four starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in a HCP at this track (29.64). Has the ability and can measure up. CHAMONIX (3) was a course and distance placegetter (29.41) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 2.5 lengths third in a HCP. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. VINNY CHASE (4) has been impressive of late in handicaps. Placed two runs back at this track then won at her latest appearance by 0.8 lengths breaking from 2m at this track over 480m (29.67). Will be starting 6m from the scratch dog. Genuine handicapper who has four wins and seven placings from 13 runs from the staggered start. Cannot be left out.

Finished fifth in an A8 over 480m at this track (30.62) last time out. Finished fifth in his only other try in a handicap. Will jump from the 10m mark. This looks tough - others rate better.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts again.
