Newcastle Bags Race 10

Arena Racing Company Stakes

Prize Money: $862

SLINGSHOT FRANKY (5) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten one length (29.45). Likely to be in the finish again. BALLYCIAN BABY (1) was safely held last time finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth at this track (29.73) but back to the scene of her latest victory. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Expected to feature in the finish. SOLWAY ERNIE (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd on February 27 over 480m at this track behind Troy Robbo beaten 2.75 lengths (29.47) in an A3. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and five minor placings from six starts. Overdue and expected to feature again. SO ITS LILLIE (2) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by a nose last start at this track over 480m (29.26). This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A4 by nose at this track over 480m (29.26). Has run a slick time here with a 28.99 PB at the distance. Worth including.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. This looks too tough.
