Newcastle Bags Race 12

#Lovethedogs Stakes

Stake: $834

APPLE OF MY EYE (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Highclere Mavrik (29.91) in an A9. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to feature in the finish again. WHITEHILLS KAY (3) will have admirers again after placing from the same draw last time out. TURN ON PHRASE (6) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 480m behind Coppice Survivor (30.87) in an A9. Leading chance. A BIT OF HUNTER (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.10) in an A9 at this track. Better than last start and worth following up.

Last start finished 5th on May 9 over 480m at this track behind Highclere Mavrik beaten 5.5 lengths (30.34) in an A9. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Delivered a much better performance last start when third over 480m at this track in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. No wins from this draw but has placed two times. In the mix.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not keen, needs to lift.
