Newcastle Bags Race 9

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $899

HALIDA SAPPHIRE (4) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 2.25 lengths behind Emers Leader in 29.20 and recording a new PB here. In form and looks the one to beat again. EMERS FIREMAN (3) was below best last time finishing fifth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including an A7 win two back at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. SMURFS BABY (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.5 lengths from Geordie Gordon (29.42) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. TOWNSEND TYSON (6) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last on April 15 over 480m at this track behind Grouchos Captain beaten 15 lengths (30.32) in an A6. Likely to find this too tough.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.5 lengths in 29.27. Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.22) behind Emers Tyson in an A6 on April 19. Better than that and worth following up.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
