Newcastle Bags Race 8

Time Greyhound Nutrition Northern Flat - Semi Final Two

Stake: $1,581

NAOCHRA (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish a neck away in second (28.39) at this track in a OR1 over 480m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up this time. HOLLYHILL GONZO (5) was a (28.46) winner last time out at this track from Box 4. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. One of main contenders. ELUSIVENOMORE (2) has a strong overall record having five wins and four places from 10 starts including a last start success (28.66) over 480m at this track. Hard to go past form here at this journey. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. JACKTAVERN LAB (6) cannot be left out after placing from this box last start.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in a OR1 at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last three starts, the latest when second (28.78) over 480m at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
