Arena Racing Company Stakes

Stake: $785

ALNWICK NEWS (3) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths (29.62) behind Uss Argonaut at this track. Can find winning form. SWIFT HAIRY (5) jumped from trap five but quickly to the lead and gave a sight when second and beaten a head (29.50) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Expected to be in the finish again. SWIFT TIA (1) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.25 lengths last start at this track over 480m (29.68). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight.

Last start finished last on July 23 over 480m at this track behind Tino On Fire beaten 4.5 lengths (30.08) in an A7. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a head into second over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
