Newcastle Bags Race 1 - Thursday

RATCHIES RASMUS (1) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone. EMERS FIREMAN (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.86) at this track behind Halida Sapphire in an A6. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. BLACKHOUSEHARLEY (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Malt Sally (29.91) in a HCP. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Bold showing expected. BABY FIREFLY (5) is a last start placegetter in A6 company, jumping from this trap and finishing a 3 length second over 480m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and four minors. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Delivered a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Looks a solid contender.
