Newcastle Bags Race 7

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,204

COLLA VANNY (5) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins. Recorded a 3 length win (28.81) in an A1 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. DROOPYS NIECE (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. VELVET BLACK (3) finished third last start over 480m at this track but was game in defeat in a slick 28.85. In form and must include in calculations. SIRDAR (6) is a last start A1 winner, jumping from this trap and scoring by 4 lengths over 480m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same draw, including four and 11 places from 24 starts. Bold showing expected again.

Last start finished 4th on March 27 over 480m at this track behind Slingshot Shaz beaten 3 lengths (28.89) in an A1. Has ability and worth including.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A2 by 3.5 len at this track over 480m (29.02). Not keen this time.

Form slipped last start when she finished last in an A1 on March 27 over 480m at this track behind Slingshot Shaz beaten 5 lengths (29.04). Likely to struggle this time.

Comes off a (28.81) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in an A1 over 480m at this track. Has never missed the frame at this course and distance, including two wins. Makes strong appeal.

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A1 by 4 len at this track over 480m (28.98). Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
