Newcastle Bags Race 7

Arena Racing Company Stakes

Stake: $853

ALNWICK GEM (3) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including an A7 win two back (29.34) at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. MIDTOWN HOPE (5) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 29.60 beating Emers Leader. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. ALWAYS KIDDING (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 480m behind Links Frankel (30.15) in an A6. Worth following up. WHITBURN WIZARD (2) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Last start finished last on March 26 over 480m at this track behind A Bit Of Oscar beaten 8 lengths (30.24) in an A6. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
