Newcastle Bags Race 1

Friday 20Th June 2025

Stake: $985

RATCHIES RASMUS (1) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A7 by one length at this track over 480m (29.60) last time. Up a grade but in form now and is the one they have to overcome. ALNWICK GEM (3) was safely held last time finishing a 22 length sixth at this track (30.64) but back to the scene of her latest victory. Shapes as one to consider. FOOTFIELD SARAH (6) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.91). Can bounce back this company. ALNWICK TOONARMY (4) is in the mix after placing here at this trip last time out.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A7 by 1.0 len at this track over 480m (29.60). Can make it two on the bounce.

Resumed last time over 480m at this track and finished sixth (29.89) in a HCP. Much improved for this but looks tested in this field.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 480m at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.
