Newcastle Bags Race 5

Www.newcastle-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Prize Money: -

KILBANNON OISIN (2) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when third (28.08) at Sunderland over 450m. Deserves serious consideration. ALNWICK NEWS (3) was a narrow winner last time, jumping from this same trap to score by half a length in an A8 over 480m at this track. Rates a leading chance again. RATCHIES AMELIA (1) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (27.80) in an A5 at Sunderland. Has the ability and can find best this time. PEKING OPERA (5) cannot be underestimated.
