Newcastle Bags Race 8

Pgr On Sky Sports Stakes

Prize Money: $943

CROOKS NOTTOFAR (5) turned in a solid 29.07 despite finishing fourth in an A2 at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close. KUMA ABDU (6) jumped from this trap and placed but in quick time latest (28.97) at this track over 480m in an A2. Bold showing expected again. OUR CHIEF (4) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but prior to that clocked a slick 28.99 win over 480m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. DUNELM LE FEE (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A2 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (28.99) beating Ballymac Neems in an A2 on September 25. Major threat on best form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
