Newcastle Bags Race 5 - Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

VELVET BLACK (3) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for six wins and three minors. Missed the frame latest (29.36) when sixth over 480m at this track in a OR. Expected to be in the finish. CASEYS SOLDIER (2) is a last start winner worth following up. BRAMBLE SPEED (4) was below best last time finishing sixth at this track, but prior to that had been racing well including an A2 win two back at this track. Can improve sharply here. BALLYMAC NEEMS (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length fifth (29.17) but scored four back at this track (28.72). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Can measure up this time.
