Newcastle Bags Race 9

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $940

PATTERDALE MESSI (1) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 3 lengths at this track over 480m (28.88). Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account. SLIPALONG BLOCK (4) turned in a modest effort fresh to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.39). Well placed this easier class and gets chance to atone. MONGYS SAPPHIRE (2) will have admirers after surprising many with a placing last time out. MOANTEEN SHADOW (6) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.27) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Rates on top in this line up.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Kazronsteve in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Rates among the chances this time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Last start finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 4 lengths (29.27) behind Burrow Nitro in an A3 on April 3. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.
