Newcastle Bags Race 4 - @Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

SLINGSHOT MAJOR (4) finished in the minors last start over the 480m at this track but ran a sharp 29.16 last start. In form and looks the one to beat. BALLYHIMIKIN MEG (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from seven tries. Missed the frame latest (29.61) when fifth over 480m at this track in an A2. Looks suited here and can measure up. INDELIBLE MARK (6) was a course and distance winner (28.98) last time also from the same draw, scoring by half a length in an A2. Expecting another bold showing. CAHERMONE BEST (1) cannot be left out despite coming off a short break.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing fifth over 480m at this track on May 28. Has started two times first-up for a win and a placing. Looks a key chance while fresh.

Below her best last time over 480m at this track (29.61) in an A2, finishing 11 lengths away in fifth. Strong record here at this journey with three wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Appeals greatly.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A3 by neck at this track over 480m (29.08). Looking to others this time.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Good effort to score last start by half a length over 480m at this track in 28.98, beating Fooled Again. Can measure up again with the right run.
