Newcastle Bags Race 2

Newcastle Greyhound Stadium Stakes

Stake: $1,056

SLINGSHOT LEEONA (5) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when third (29.39) in a IV over 480m at this track. Can turn form around here. TAMMY THE BEST (4) is impossible to fault lately, last start claiming an A3 at this track (29.08), making it three straight wins. Goes up another level but key runner based on recent form. INCA LEXIE (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (43.86) in a IV at this track. Solid record here winning five races. Worth following up. VELVET BLACK (1) placed last start as favourite and is in the mix again.
