Newcastle Bags Race 1 - Thursday 20th August 2026

CANNY STRIKER (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by a neck in an A3 last time at this track over 480m (28.86). Up a notch this time but on latest effort looks the one to beat again. WIPE THE SLATE (5) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 480m behind Grouchos Hawk (29.58) in an A2. Should be in this for a long way. TETRA CRUISING (4) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 2 lengths (29.27) behind Slingshot Major at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from four starts. Expected to be in the finish again. SAFE VISION (6) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.6 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
