Newcastle Bags Race 8

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,051

TODDYS ACE (4) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.13) in an A1 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Should bounce back. FABULOUS ADRIANA (3) comes here off a slick fourth over 480m at this track in 29.12. Expected to feature. SKEARD MAGIC (1) could manage only fourth at this track last time but impressed when posting a fast 29.06 over 480m at this track three starts back. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. CROOKS GUCCI (2) in the money here last time and looks a top-three prospect again.
