Newcastle Bags Race 3 - Arena Racing Company Northern Puppy Derby Trial Stakes
ROMEO VICTOR (5) ran a solid 29.44 when filling a minor placing over 500m at Towcester last start. Hard to top on the time from last start. SWIFT KIND (1) has a strong record this trip with three wins and three placings from seven starts. Hit the frame latest (29.01) when third at this track in an A2. Looks one of the chances. ANGLESEY TESLA (4) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from nine tries. Recorded a nose win (26.48) in an A4 last time at Star Pelaw. Looks one of the chances. FARDOE SLEEK (6) comes into calculations after placing at first outing.

Yet to break through in three runs but has been thereabouts. Fair last time over 480m at this track where he raced on speed but faded to finish fourth (29.25). Likely to be further improved. Can't recommend against this lot.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a nose at Star Pelaw (26.48) beating Ma Darlin in an A4 on January 18. In form and expected to run well again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A2 at Towcester. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.

Settled off speed but got home well on debut to finish second (29.05) over 480m at this track. Improver who must be included.
