Newcastle Bags Race 8

Follow Newcastle Greyhounds On Facebook Stakes

Prize Money: $872

CANNY SMILER (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage third (29.85) at this track. Overdue and expected to feature again. SHEBAS SHINE (2) ran her usual honest race last time out when 1.5 lengths from the winner in an A7 over 480m at this track (29.82). Taking on a handicap for the first time and jumps with a 9m advantage. Expected to feature again. TETRA CRUISING (6) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Expected to bounce back to best. A BIT OF HUNTER (4) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.
