Newcastle Bags Race 12 - #Lovethedogs Stakes

ATLANTAS BLU (2) is an honest type in the frame at 27 of 50 starts including 11 wins, the latest scoring (29.48) over 480m at this track. Form here sound including eight wins. Looks the testing material here. VELVET BLACK (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind ATLANTAS BLU (29.52) in an A2. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. TEXAS QUEEN (4) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for four wins and three minors. Below best last time at this track (29.46) in an A2, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. CROKERS LUNA (6) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in an A2 by 0.5 len at this track over 480m (29.48). Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.

Was safely held fresh from a break when fifth (29.30) at this track over 480m. Has been in the minors both second-up starts. Others make more appeal.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A2 on February 11 over 480m at this track behind Our Chief beaten 2.5 lengths (29.46). Look for improvement. Not out of it.
