Newcastle Bags Race 8

The Future Of Racing: PGR TV Stakes

Stake: $1,049

HARDWICK ATHENA (6) turned in a sharp 29.12 despite finishing fifth in an A2 at this track last start. Hard to top on the time from last start. TETRA CRUISING (5) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same trap when a 4 length third (29.49) in a HCP at this track. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BLINK OF AN EYE (4) has struggling of late. Finished fourth two starts back at this track then breaking from the 9m mark in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 480m (29.58). Will start off 9m. Not out of the equation. MAN IN BLACK (3) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Progressing well. Missed the placings fresh at this track then scored and breaking from 12m at this track last start over 480m (29.42). Will break 14m from scratch. Going well enough to test this field.

Has struggling of late. Finished fourth two starts back at this track then when off 9m in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 480m (29.58). Will be starting 9m from the scratch dog. Cannot be underestimated.

Racing consistently, placing two back at this track then tackling a handicap breaking from 4m and grabbing third at this track over 480m (29.49). Will be starting off 4m. The one they have to overcome.
