Newcastle Bags Race 1

Thursday 26Th February 2026

Prize Money: $773

HIGHVIEW JOEY (1) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.16) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. BALLYCIAN BABY (2) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when second (29.12) in an A3 over 480m at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. BLACKHOUSE FLOCK (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, a nose from Kazronsteve (29.26) at this track. Hard to beat again. SLINGSHOT FRANKY (4) could manage only second last time but ran a strong time (29.11) in a hot race. Worth including.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.16). The one to beat.

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.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.51). In form but this might be too tough.

Turned in a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has ability and among the chances.
