Newcastle Bags Race 12 - #Lovethedogs Stakes

SMURFS BABY (5) is rarely out of the finish, recording 39 places from 78 starts. Finished second (29.79) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record here at the distance winning eight races. Rates highly and will give a great sight. WESTONS SKELETON (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A7 at this track (29.73). Harder here but expected to measure up. FOOTFIELD SCAR (3) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from The Instigator in second (29.84) at this track. Bold showing expected. HIGHCLERE MAVRIK (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a neck last start at this track over 480m (29.88). Tackles tougher grade here but in form and looks a contender again.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in a HCP on March 20 over 480m at this track behind Wirtz Class beaten 6 lengths (29.78). Hard to envisage a win.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.
