Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,020

NEON PUNS GRAVEL (4) missed the placings two runs ago at this track then claimed a handicap when off 7m by 1.5 lengths at this track last start over 480m (29.01). Tackles another handicap here and will start off 4m. Genuine handicapper who has one win and two placings from four runs from the staggered start. Ideally placed to keep the ball rolling. A BIT OF THEO (1) has impressed of late, finishing in the money two back at this track then switching to a handicap and breaking from 13m and grabbing second at this track over 480m (29.21). Has a 11m start on the scratch draw. Must be a big chance. STEADY TEDDY (5) recorded a HCP win two back at this track then not far away from an awkward draw latest when fourth (29.47) at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. SLINGSHOT COISTY (6) continued the strong recent form in handicaps when he finished second, beaten a head, last start off scratch at this track over 480m (29.45). Breaks from the back. Expecting another forward showing.
