Newcastle Bags Race 8

Arena Racing Company Standard Final

Stake: $4,284

NAOCHRA (3) scored a 4 length win this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (28.12) and also clocked the quickest win on the card. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. COLLA VANNY (6) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 5 last time (29.15) at this track. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with five wins from six starts. Can measure up. CLONA DASH (4) could only manage second last time when beaten 3 lengths behind MOANTEEN WEBBY at this track but in a lightning 28.49. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. TOT TRIPPETT (5) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Scored by 4 lengths last time (28.12) in a OR3 over 480m at this track. Strong record at this track and trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. Key player and should go well.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in a OR3 at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Sunderland then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR3 at this track over 480m (28.46). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 480m at this track in 29.15. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 28.51. Top chance.
