Newcastle Bags Race 1

Thursday 4th June 2026

Prize Money: $852

LASTMINUTEDOTCOM (6) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 1.3 lengths into second (29.39) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Top prospect. TEXAS QUEEN (4) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only one length from LASTMINUTEDOTCOM in second (29.44) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. A BIT OF BETTY (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her fast win three back, getting around this track over 480m in 29.10. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. DEMON HUNTER (2) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Not Like Us in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Capable of a good showing.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A3 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.
