Newcastle Bags Race 4

The Henry Rigby Gold Cup

Prize Money: $702

SOARING ARTEMIS (6) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 1.5 lengths second (29.57) in an A6 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from three attempts. Leading chance again. CANNY ORLA (4) had been going along well winning an A7 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fifth (29.93) at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. A BIT OF SAVANA (5) stalked the lead from trap 4 and boxed on well to finish 2.5 lengths back in third (29.90) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Leading player again. SOLWAY SPLASH (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 5 lengths last start at this track over 480m (29.59). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.

Good effort to score last start by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.59, beating Five Alley Macy. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th over 480m at Tralee beaten 8 lengths (29.49) behind Kathy in an A3 on April 18. This looks too tough.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last on May 30 over 480m at this track behind Maries Hope beaten 8 lengths (29.93) in an A6. Leading contender.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Coppice Melbelle in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. In the minors two starts back. Winning chance on best form.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 1.5 lengths second (29.57) over 480m at this track last time. Still to win from this trap but has been in the placings three times. Top chance.
