Newcastle Bags Race 5

Newcastle Greyhounds On Sky Sports Racing Stakes

Stake: $865

CROOKS WILLOW (3) is a fast beginner but out of character last time when always well back and missed the placings, finishing sixth (29.91) in an A6 at this track. Was fast away and placed (29.91) at this track the start prior. Has ability and looks hard to stop. CHASING AINE (5) missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 4.5 lengths (29.61) last time at this track. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course and distance. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Expected to feature. KILLEACLE ANNIE (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (29.78) in a HCP at this track. Can improve sharply here. MALT SALLY (1) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.25 lengths winner of an A7 at this track over 480m (29.38). Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last in an A6 on May 6 over 480m at this track behind Emers Biddy beaten 8 lengths (29.91). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 4.5 lengths (29.61) in an A6 over 480m at this track. Deserves another chance.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 6 lengths, last start in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.59). Faces a stiffer test this time.
