Dog of the Day: Lets Go Dutch to Deliver at Newcastle
We head to the North East for our Saturday standout. In the 15:19 (Race 4) at Newcastle, Lets Go Dutch looks ready to stamp his authority on this A2 contest following some eye-catching recent efforts.
Lets Go Dutch has been knocking on the door in this grade, and with the “clock watchers impressed with his latest display,” he looks the one to beat in a competitive field.

Racing Record & Form
Lets Go Dutch is a consistent performer who knows how to win, boasting 6 wins from 29 starts (20.69% strike rate). His recent form in A2 company has been particularly strong:
Last Run (4th Dec): He finished a close 3rd, beaten just over 2 lengths in a fast 28.69s.
Highlight Win (29th Nov): He showed his class just two weeks ago, winning an A2 in 28.75s. He tracked the leaders well before taking control (“2221 1st”).
Consistency: He rarely runs a bad race. In his last six outings, he has recorded a win, a second, and two thirds, proving he is always in the mix at the business end.
The Race Analysis: 15:19 A2 Grade (480m)
This race (The @NewcastleDogs On Twitter Stakes) sets up nicely for him.
The Draw: He runs from Trap 6 (seeded Middle), but often traps from 5 or 6. He has enough early pace (4.60s sectional recently) to clear Romeo Elite inside him, who is noted as a “regularly slow starter.”
The Opposition: Romeo Elite is running well but is stepping up in class from a “rather weak race.” Brickhill Mick is returning from a 3-week break and moving up in grade, which could leave him vulnerable.
The Verdict: The race comments highlight that “Clock watchers impressed with latest display.” His 28.69s run last time is the benchmark here. If he gets a clear run into the first bend, his strength will be hard to handle.
Verdict: The form dog of the race. He has the speed on the clock and the race fitness to take this.
