Newcastle Bags Race 4 - @Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

A BIT OF MEGAN (6) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (28.99) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning 13 races. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Top prospect. MEDUSA (2) followed a minor placing and jumping from a 7m advantage in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fifth last start, beaten 3.5 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.77). Back to a handicap this time and will break 11m from scratch. Better than the last run and is not to be underestimated. SLINGSHOT FORTH (4) failed to feature last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (28.92) beating Howay Miley in an A4 on September 17. Worth following up. CANNY SMILER (3) placed last start as favourite and is in the mix again.

Was in the money two starts back when jumping from the 7m in a handicap at this track then could only manage fifth at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.77). Returns to a handicap here and will enjoy the 11m start.
