Newcastle Bags Race 9

Arena Racing Company Stakes

Prize Money: $750

DROMBEG NOVA (5) finds it hard to break through. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest when third (29.80) at this track. Top prospect. SOME MIGHT SAY (2) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Slingshot Forth (29.80) in a HCP. Was in the money prior to that. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. ALNWICK TINA (6) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was an A8 winner three back (29.86) at this track over 480m. Can feature with the right run. PUCKANE LIGHT (1) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 8 lengths (29.80) behind Slingshot Forth in a HCP on September 3. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A8 at this track over 480m (29.96), beaten 6 lengths. Hard to make a case this time.

Form slipped last start when she finished last on September 2 over 480m at this track behind Canny Orla beaten 9 lengths (30.07) in an A8. Hard to recommend this time.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when third (29.80) over 480m at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in an A8 on September 5 over 480m at this track behind Isaks Onthe Kop beaten 1.75 lengths (29.89). Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
