Newcastle Bags Race 1 - Thursday
SIRDAR (6) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 3 length third (28.97) in an A1. Well worth another try. SLINGSHOT KIAN (5) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 1.5 lengths away in second (27.62) behind Witton Versace at Sunderland. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Leading chance. VELVET BLACK (1) jumps from trap 1 again after placing (28.79) last time at this track over 480m. Must include in calculations. ALNWICK NIDGE (3) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 5 lengths at this track (29.02) beating Mackcool in an A2 on October 2. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 450m at Sunderland. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing third (28.97) last time at this track over 480m. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
