Newcastle Bags Race 5

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $919

ALNWICK ARWYN (1) hit the ground running off the low draw last start and was never headed (29.37) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. GEORDIE GORDON (4) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 4 last time (29.83) at this track. Bold showing expected. SWIFT ZEN (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (29.65) behind Shelone Glory at this track. Expecting another good run. HIGH JACK (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 480m behind Solway Blue (30.61) in an A5. Must be included in calculations.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 6 length third (29.83) over 480m at this track last time. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
