Newcastle Bags Race 6

Time Greyhound Nutrition Standard

Stake: $2,259

JACKTAVERN CHIEF (4) shapes well for this after finishing third last start over 480m at this track but in a dazzling 28.56 behind Hardwick Mighty. Smart time latest and looks a key chance here. OPTIC PHARAOH (3) was in the minors two back (28.66) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Has ability and can measure up. JACKTAVERN LAB (6) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning an A1 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Expected to do much better this time. BRAMBLE ELVIS (1) finished third two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in a OR1 at this track over 480m (28.73). This far easier and can improve sharply.

Last start finished 4th on July 17 over 480m at this track behind Hardwick Mighty beaten 4.5 lengths (28.73) in a OR1. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Right in the mix.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.5 lengths third (28.56) over 480m at this track last time. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 28.28. Top chance.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 5 lengths, last start in a OR1 at this track over 480m (28.99). Racing well and is the one they have to overcome.
