Newcastle Bags Race 3

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $861

FINE BY ME (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last four starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when second in an A5 at this track (29.68). Expected to feature again. ROMEO GUSTO (5) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A7 two back then scored by 1.75 lengths in an A6 last time at this track over 480m (29.75). Key player and worth following up despite the tougher class. SWIFT ENJOY (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (30.06) in an A4 at this track. Can do much better this time. BLACKHOUSEHARPER (4) defied the market to win last start and can measure up again.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (29.79) behind Solway Dream in an A4 on February 11. Looks up against it this time.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Can't recommend against this lot.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in an A5 by nose at this track over 480m (29.67). Can measure up again with the right run.
