Newcastle Bags Race 12

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $771

FINE BY ME (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.13 beating Dryland Velvet. The hardest to beat again. WESTONS SKELETON (1) is a fast beginner but out of character last time when always well back and missed the placings, finishing fifth (29.67) in an A4 at this track. Has a good record here including six wins. Should play a prominent role. ALNWICK RIVER (6) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (29.28) in an A5 over 480m at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. FIVE ALLEY LUNA (3) profiles nicely over this trip.

Last start finished 5th in an A4 on October 1 over 480m at this track behind Alnwick Hawk beaten 8 lengths (29.67). Goes very well from this trap including seven wins. Leading player.

Solid performance after racing on the speed to score in an A5 by 1.5 len at this track over 480m (29.13). Had been in fine form, hitting the frame four times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can measure up again.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 1.3 lengths (29.36) in an A5 over 480m at this track. Can bounce back.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
