Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $886

A BIT OF THEO (2) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last six runs. Last time finished 2nd in an A9 on July 23 over 480m at this track behind Ice Cool Annie beaten 1.5 lengths (29.98). Can go on with it. COUNTY SONG (5) has been most effective recently in handicaps. In the money two back at this track then scored by 2.5 lengths when jumped from scratch at this track over 480m (29.36). Breaks from the back. Talented handicapper who has two wins and four placings from seven runs from the staggered start. Hard to knock the recent form. BLACKHOUSE FLOPS (3) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 6 lengths away in fifth (29.52). Was in the money the start prior. Key player if finds best. COPPICE COCHISE (1) among the chances again based on last run here.

Comments

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in a HCP at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.

Is mixing her form recently. Nice effort to finish third two runs back at this track then switched to the handicaps when off the 13m mark and finished fifth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 480m (29.52).

Impressive of late in handicaps. Placed two back at this track then won off scratch at this track over 480m (29.36). Will jump off scratch. Capable handicapper who has two wins and four placings from seven runs from the staggered start.
