Newcastle Bags Race 1

Wednesday

Prize Money: $835

EKITIKE (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.22) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can make amends this time. COPPICE MELBELLE (1) is racing very well, claiming an A7 two back then scored a nose win of an A7 at this track over 480m (29.75) last time. Expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. BILLYS BAKER (2) recorded a 10 length third in an A6 last time 30.58 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Bold showing expected again. HAZELHILL BLUE (6) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 480m (30.12). Deserves another chance this easier class.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Likely to find this too tough.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not up to this.

Latest effort finished last in an A6 on July 7 over 480m at this track behind Canny Striker beaten 11 lengths (30.22). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.
