Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,028

SLINGSHOT DI (6) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Sunderland over 261m behind Lion Heart (16.04) in a OR3. Was in the money prior to that. Has ability and can bounce back. TOWNSEND TYLER (3) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (29.36) behind Droopys Arabella at this track. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. A BIT OF NOAH (4) turned in a better effort last start. Unplaced two back at this track then finished second at his latest appearance breaking from the 7m mark in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.44). Will start off 6m. This is within reach. TEXAS RANGER (1) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten half a length, last start when starting off 9m from the scratch dog in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.85). Has a 11m start on the scratch draw. Can feature again.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten a nose, last start in a HCP at this track over 480m (29.36). Sure to play a big role.

Turned in a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in a HCP. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Leading contender.
