Newcastle Bags Race 5

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $793

SOLWAY BLUE (5) failed to feature last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at this track (29.33) beating TUMBLEDOWN in an A5 on April 26. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minor placings. Rates on top in this line up. ALNWICK SADDLE (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.86) last time in an A5 at this track. Should be thereabouts. TUMBLEDOWN (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 2 lengths away in fourth (29.55). Was in the money the start prior. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Has ability and can measure up. WATERMILL MYA (3) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th on May 3 over 480m at this track behind Ridgedale Rosie beaten 2 lengths (29.55) in an A5. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.
