Newcastle Bags Race 12

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $861

IN THE BUNKER (3) missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 5 lengths (30.13) last time at this track. Has winning claims on her best figures. ROMEO GUSTO (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (29.79) in an A5 at this track. Solid record here winning two races. A big run wouldn't surprise. EKITIKE (6) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed nine of 20 career runs. Has been in the money the last four starts, the latest when second (29.84) at this track. Has a good record here including three wins. Overdue and gets his chance. ROWINGTON RUBY (4) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.84). Decent recent form so demands respect.
