Newcastle Bags Race 3

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Stake: $791

DRUMNAFERN BLAZE (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (30.01) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Better than last start and worth following up. BALLYMAC FEARNE (1) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (29.86) at this track in HCP over 480m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. DAUNTING TASK (3) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind BALLYMAC FEARNE (30.05). Can measure up this time. LOGIBEAR (4) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in a HCP by neck at this track over 480m (29.86). Looks the one to beat again.

Last start finished 4th in an A8 on September 6 over 480m at this track behind Moyvane Emotions beaten 6 lengths (30.01). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others preferred.
