Newcastle Bags Race 2

Www.newcastle-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Stake: $921

KATHYS GIFT (4) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (29.55) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Overdue and expected to feature again. MEDUSA (3) comes into calculations after placing out of the same box most recently. EDEN POGBA (2) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.71) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to his name from 12 starts. Expected to feature. DEELISH DIVA (6) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (29.75) at this track. Expected to feature again.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Rhoden Nelson in an A7. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Holds top-three claims.
