Newcastle Bags Race 8

The Future Of Racing: PGR TV Stakes

Prize Money: $894

GLENGAR VEGAS (3) was below expectations on debut finishing fifth (29.51) at this track. Look for sharp improvement here. DELVIN CAT (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.12) at this track behind Crooks Gucci in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expecting another good run. ROMEO VICTOR (5) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (29.44) at Towcester in an A2. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BALLYCIAN BABY (1) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th in an A2 on April 2 over 480m at this track behind Slingshot Leeona beaten 1.2 lengths (29.24). Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 28.46. Must include.

Yet to feature in seven appearances at this track. Finished fourth over 480m at this track last time out. This looks too tough.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.
