Newcastle Bags Race 11

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $852

BRAMBLE CAT (2) struggled in tougher grade last start at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (29.23) beating Fabulous Shona in an A4 on August 18. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ROMEO MIG (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.40) at this track behind Fabulous Shona in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Leading chance. TODDYS ACE (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.52) last time in an A4 at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. EKITIKE (5) scored in dominant fashion last time. Hard to beat again.
