Newcastle Bags Race 5

Watch PGR On Sky Sports Racing Stakes

Prize Money: $779

DROMBEG ANGEL (2) was in the minor money with a respectable 29.16, finishing third in an A1 at this track last start. In form and looks the one to beat. OPERA BOY (5) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (29.29) but was a winner three back in the second best time of the program. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Bold showing expected. COOLAVANNY DREW (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his quick win the start prior, getting around this track over 480m in 29.09. Should be in this for a long way. WINSCALE WONDER (3) can find the frame without surprising.

Produced a much better performance last start when third over 480m at this track in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has the ability to take this out.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth in a OR3 over 450m at Sunderland five-and-a-half months ago. Usually fires fresh, having never missed the top three from four starts. Expect him to be prominent.
