Newcastle Bags Race 5

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Stake: $870

FABULOUS EVENING (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 1.5 lengths away in third (29.22). Capable of going well again. VELVET BLACK (3) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 480m at this track in 28.77. Expecting another bold showing. BLACKHOUSE BUDDY (6) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 480m in 28.95. Has the ability and can find winning form again. POPPER MOODY (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A2 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
