Newcastle Bags Race 4 - Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

JACKTAVERN JAX (6) has missed the frame the last couple but was a HCP winner three back (29.20) at this track over 480m. Expecting sharp improvement. A BIT OFA BUMP (3) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, last start and jumping from a 10m advantage in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.84). Will start off 6m. Cannot be underestimated. VINNY CHASE (5) has impressed of late in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then finishing second at her latest appearance when started off 5m at this track over 480m (29.43). Will jump off 2m. Capable handicapper who has three wins and seven placings from 12 runs from the staggered start. Hard to leave out in this form. ALNWICK NEWS (4) won two starts back when off 9m in a handicap at this track then finished out of the money at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (30.17). Returns to a handicap and will jump off 2m. Better than the last run suggests.

Surprise winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2 lengths in 29.09. Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.17) behind Swift Enjoy in an A6 on August 14. May well be worth another chance.
