Newcastle Bags Race 3 - Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes
CROOKS ROCKY (5) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (30.19) at this track. Top prospect. WRAYSBURY KING (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 480m (30.31). Better suited here and cannot be underestimated. SMILING EVAMAC (1) was never in contention last time at this track, but prior to that won by 3 lengths at this track (30.00) beating Alnwick Kenny in an A9 on September 18. Cannot be taken lightly. DAUNTING TASK (3) followed a first-up sixth at this track two starts ago with another modest effort to finish sixth last time, beaten 10 lengths, in an A8 at this track over 480m (30.31). This easier so don't rule him out.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 4th on September 26 over 480m at this track behind Alnwick Wizard beaten 0.7 lengths (30.37) in an A9. Prepared to risk this time.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A8 at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settled off speed early and held position to finish third (30.23) at this track over 480m. Sure to improve on the experience. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
