Newcastle Bags Race 9 - Www.newcastle-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

ALNWICK NIDGE (4) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his flying 28.95 win at this track over 480m. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. CANNY STRIKER (3) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and four placings from 14 starts. Missed the frame latest (26.48) when fourth over 435m at Star Pelaw in a IV. Makes strong appeal on best. ZENITH MIKMACKER (5) goes very well here starting 31 times for 11 wins and seven minors. Missed the frame latest (29.08) when fourth over 480m at this track in an A1. Looks suited here and can measure up. HOWAY BIG DAN (1) has claims if he runs up to his best.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 3 lengths in 28.68. Last start finished 5th on October 10 over 480m at this track behind Croia Agus Gwen beaten 5.5 lengths (29.60) in a HCP. This looks too tough.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 435m at Star Pelaw (26.48) in a IV. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and four minor placings from 14 tries. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
