Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,053

BALLYMAC JOSHY (2) finished fifth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his head turning 28.69 win at this track over 480m. Rates on top and can find winning form again. BRAMBLE EAGLES (5) stalked the lead from trap five before hitting the front turning and lifting to score (29.07) at this track in an A2 over 480m. Capable of going well again. GREENWELL OVETT (1) ran a good 29.08 despite finishing fourth over 480m at this track last start. In form and must include in calculations. MAXI ON FIRE (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Solid effort after racing on the speed to score in an A2 by 0.5 len at this track over 480m (29.07). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
