Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,010

KATIES CAPTAIN (5) had been racing well prior to his last start sixth at this track following an A5 win three back with a third placing. Can turn form around here. ZENITH VANDROSS (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.59) at this track behind Bramble Revel in an A4. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Must be included in calculations. ALNWICK AVA (3) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (30.43) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can turn it around this time. BRAMBLE TRIPPIER (1) looks an each-way chance.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A4 at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A5 by neck at this track over 480m (29.38). Can't recommend in this field.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 3 lengths (29.87) behind Newline Rosie in an A4 on January 20. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

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. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
