Newcastle Bags Race 7

Arena Racing Company Stakes

Stake: $1,026

ALNWICK NIDGE (4) has a strong overall record having 14 wins and 25 places from 56 starts including a last start second (29.15) over 480m at this track. Super consistent and looks a key player. BALLYMAC AKI (2) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (29.15), beaten 1.3 lengths. Well-placed to take this out. ASHWOOD CHANEL (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (27.56) behind Barden Bella at Sunderland. Will give a great sight again. LASTMINUTEDOTCOM (6) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 450m at Sunderland. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Nottingham then finished third at his latest appearance in a IT at this track over 480m (29.15). Hard to beat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.
