Newcastle Bags Race 4 - @Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

BRAMBLE EMERALD (6) has been out of sorts recently. Missed the placings two back at this track then finished fourth at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.64). Returns to a handicap now and breaks from the back. Overall a genuine handicapper who has 18 wins and 27 placings from 71 runs from the staggered start. The testing material. DROOPYS TUTU (5) didn't measure up last start when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 480m at this track (29.86). Tackling the handicaps for the first time and will break off 3m. Shapes as one of the chances. FRUITY FANTA (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (29.76) at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ABIT OF LAYTON (4) makes his handicap debut and will break from the 7m mark. Form sound, including a last start third in an A8 over 480m at this track (30.13). Expected to run well again.

Won at her first try in a handicap last time out when starting 16m from scratch, scoring over 480m at this track (29.11) on September 26. Shoots for back to back handicap wins will break 11m from scratch. Likely to find this a harder test.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Delivered a much better performance last start when third over 480m at this track in an A8. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has claims if at his best.

Normally reliable performer but missed the frame last time out over 480m in an A5 at this track. Having her first try in a handicap this time and has a 3m start on the scratch dog. Key chance who will be difficult to stop.

Is struggling to find form this time in. Modest effort to finish fourth two runs back at this track then only managed fourth, beaten 10 lengths, last start in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.64).
