Newcastle Bags Race 3

Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $718

DRYLAND VELVET (5) was below best last time finishing fourth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including an A7 win two back at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. FREEDOM LAYTON (2) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 11 lengths at this track (30.10). Cannot be left out. MEDUSA (3) was in the minors two back (29.50) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Solid record here at the distance winning 13 races. Likely to be thereabouts. AMAZING REX (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 480m at this track in 30.18. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
