Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Prize Money: $872

AMBERS HERO (6) newcomer to the handicap scene and breaks from the back. A little below par last start in an A1when fifth over 480m at this track (29.29). Looks well placed here and expected to feature. FOOTFIELD SQUEAK (5) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (29.26), making it four straight minors. Harder here but expected to measure up. DO IT ZARA (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.65) last time in a HCP at this track. Key runner on best form. CHAMONIX (3) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Hard to recommend this time.

Has struggling of late. Finished fourth two starts back at this track then and breaking from 12m in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 480m (29.62). Will break 13m from scratch. This might be too tough.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 5th in a HCP on July 30 over 480m at this track behind A Bit Ofa Bump beaten 5.5 lengths (29.65). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Racing consistently, placing two back at this track then tackling a handicap breaking from 4m and grabbing third at this track over 480m (29.26). Will jump off 4m. The testing material.

Makes his handicap debut and will jump off scratch. Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m in an A1 at this track (29.29). Key chance who will be difficult to stop.
