Newcastle Bags Race 1

Thursday

Stake: $1,051

LASTMINUTEDOTCOM (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 4 lengths at this track (29.31). Better than last start and worth following up. BALLYCIAN BABY (2) comes here off a placing in slick time (29.11) over 480m at this track. In form and looks a leading player again. ZARI SOCKS (1) comes off a sharp 29.06 placing at this track over 480m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. JACKTAVERN KEANO (5) proved himself from this box last start – sure to figure prominently.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A2 by neck at this track over 480m (29.03). Good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.
