Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,051

BALLYMAC JOSHY (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (28.78) at this track behind Maxi On Fire in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of last race has been strong. Deserves serious consideration. JACKOS BONO (5) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 2 lengths (28.83) behind Velvet Black at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. JACKTAVERN LAB (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (27.62) last time in a OR2 at Sunderland. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. CROOKS STEVIE (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (28.98), beaten 4 lengths. Solid formlines coming through his last run.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 4 lengths (28.98) behind Cahermone Best in an A1 on June 19. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A1 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.
