Newcastle Bags Race 9

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $933

A BIT OF BETTY (4) finished fifth last time (28.99) at this track after winning at her previous two outings. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Ready to return to form. ZENITH MIKMACKER (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 34 times for 12 wins and seven minors. Was out of the placings last time (28.82) at this track in an A1, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. FARDOE SLEEK (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 28.65 beating Nitro Nylo. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Deserves serious consideration again. CHARLIES TOPSHOT (2) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing third (28.26) last time at Doncaster over 450m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by one length in 28.76. Last start finished 5th in an A1 on November 4 over 480m at this track behind Zenith Tanju beaten 5 lengths (28.99). Better than that and worth following up.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (28.82) in an A1, beaten 3 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with 12 wins and seven minor placings from 34 tries. Key runner.

Good effort to score last start by 1.75 lengths over 480m at this track in 28.65, beating Nitro Nylo. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
