Central Park Bags Race 9 - Arc Novice Stayers Trophy
VOYAGE MEL (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 664m behind Swift Youth (41.84) in a OR. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and can bounce back. SCARTY MEL (4) finds it hard to win. Finished in the minors latest when second (41.42) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expecting another good run. FRANKYS BULLET (5) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (29.67) from Box 4 at Hove over 500m. Should be in this for a long way. WESTWOOD BETTY (1) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Last start finished last in a OR on October 24 over 664m at this track behind Swift Youth beaten 8 lengths (41.84). Strongly fancied last start but safely held. Deserves another chance.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 664m in a OR at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.

Lines up for the first time over this trip. Last appeared when fifth over 500m at Hove. With even luck and a clean start he should be very hard to beat.
