Newcastle Bags Race 8

Premier Greyhound Racing All England Cup - Heat Five

Stake: $1,826

SLINGSHOT SAM (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 21 times for nine wins and eight minors. Was out of the placings last time (32.28) at this track in a OR, finishing fifth and beaten 45 lengths. Looks one of the chances. WICKY NED (2) is generally an honest type in the frame at two of 17 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (30.26) over 500m at Nottingham. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won two of three tries. Rates highly here and will go close. POPPER FLENKY (1) finished fifth last time (29.25) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Solid record here at the distance winning 10 races. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Bold showing expected. BLACKHOUSE KIM (6) was below best last time at Sheffield (29.28) in a OR1, finishing a 5 length fifth. Has eight wins already from this trap.

Winner two starts back at Nottingham when scoring by 0.8 lengths in 29.65. Last start finished 4th on November 25 over 500m at Nottingham behind Romeo Command beaten 5 lengths (30.26) in a OR1. Well worth another chance.
