Newcastle Bags Race 4

@Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

Stake: $1,026

PRIVATE EXPRESS (1) rocketed around 480m at this track in 28.85 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. LONGACRES ROMEO (2) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track, taking an A3 in a handy 29.07. Has the ability and can find winning form again. ALNWICK RIVER (6) turned in a solid run last start over 480m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (29.19). Has ability and is one of the better chances. ALNWICK NIDGE (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.46) over 480m at this track. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
