Newcastle Bags Race 9

Arena Racing Company Standard Heat 3

Stake: $1,691

CLONA DASH (4) finished second two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Towcester over 500m (29.33). Watch for a better run this far easier company. DELVIN CAT (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 28.59 beating Naochra. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again. MOANTEEN WEBBY (3) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track, taking an A1 in a dazzling 28.51. Has the ability and looks hard to top. OPTIC PHARAOH (1) missed the frame two starts back at Towcester then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Towcester over 500m (30.49). Worth another chance this far easier line-up.

Last start finished 5th on May 9 over 500m at Towcester behind Newinn Benni beaten 16 lengths (30.49) in a OR1. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 3 length fourth (29.33) at Towcester. Has claims on best form.

Missed the frame three back but has since scored back to back wins, the latest an A1 at this track (28.59). Looks well placed to make it three straight.
