Newcastle Bags Race 12

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Stake: $989

A BIT OF PAIGE (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 29.74 beating Alnwick Maeby. Expected to measure up again. GROUCHOS CAPTAIN (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind A BIT OF PAIGE (29.83) in an A6. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Expected to be in the finish again. FOOTFIELD ROSE (2) followed an A5 win two back with a fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.65) last time. Suited this easier class and looks a key runner based on best form. A BIT OF NOAH (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.
