Newcastle Bags Race 9 - Www.newcastle-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

TAYLOR THE BEST (5) has a strong record this trip including two wins from four starts. Comes off a (28.94) win last time, scoring by one length in an A2 over 480m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. COOLAVANNY DREW (3) missed the frame last time at this track but just three runs back flew around 480m at this track in 29.09. Has the ability and can find winning form again. FOOLED AGAIN (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (29.01) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Leading player again. VELVET BLACK (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three at this track and distance most recently.

Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 42 lengths (31.78) behind Winscale Wonder in an A2 on April 18. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
