Newcastle Bags Race 6

#Lovethedogs Stakes

Stake: $1,020

RANCHERS LUCY (3) has impressed of late in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then finishing third at her latest appearance when jumped from scratch at this track over 480m (30.04). Will jump off 5m. Racing in great heart and is the testing material. BABS BRANDY (2) safely held fresh when 10 lengths away in fourth (30.25) first-up. That was in when off 2m over 480m at this track. Will jump from the 9m mark. Key chance with that run under the belt. BLACKHOUSE VIA (6) scored by half a length last start when off 1m at this track over 480m (29.62) to continue a terrific run of recent handicapping form. Breaks from the back. In the mix again. DAUNTING TASK (4) did a good job to finish second last time out over 480m at this track (29.70) in an A7, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Disappointed last start over 480m at this track when beaten 16 len (31.04) behind Ballymac Fearne on August 9. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 480m at this track in a HCP (30.25). Better for the run and can find winning form this time.
