Newcastle Bags Race 3

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Stake: $1,218

SLINGSHOT MAJOR (3) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his superb 28.95 win at this track over 480m. Expected to push the clock again here. SLINGSHOT BLUE (4) was beaten into fifth last time but ran impressive time with a sharp 28.85 at this track over 480m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. GROUCHOS HAWK (6) below best last time at this track (28.89) in an A1, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Makes strong appeal on best. ZENITH MIKMACKER (5) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.
