Newcastle Bags Race 5

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $720

BRAMBLE CAT (3) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (17.45) at this track in a IT. Has first look at trap 3 this time. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Top prospect. EKITIKE (6) broke a string of placings finishing in the money four on end before a last start fifth (29.80) at this track. Solid record here winning three races. Must be included in calculations. WHITEHILLS BIRDY (4) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (29.66) at this track. Can measure up this time. BRAMBLE SKY (1) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 290m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.
