The Arena Racing Company Shootout Stakes Heat 4

Stake: $3,096

CUNNIGAR KING (2) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Below best last time at this track (28.04) in a OR1, finishing a 12 length fourth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. NOT SO SLOW (4) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (28.79) over 450m at this track in a OR1. Has a good record at this journey. Shapes as one to consider. SALACRES SLICK (5) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 450m behind Deerjet Rocket (27.94) in a OR1. Has the ability to give this a shake. SLINGSHOT DI (3) followed a placing two back with a sound third, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in a OR at Newcastle over 290m (17.40) and looks overdue for a win. Capable of finding winning form this easier class.
