Newcastle Bags Race 3 - Arena Racing Company Northern Puppy Derby - Heat Two

BALLYMAC SERVICE (2) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his exceptional win the start prior, getting around this track over 480m in 28.80. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. BALLYMAC SHONTAE (6) goes very well this course and distance starting five times for two wins and two minors. In the money last time at this track (29.19) in a OR2, finishing a 11 length third. Looks suited here and can measure up. BACKTOYOURBEST (3) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track, taking a OR2 in a convincing 28.84. Has the ability and can find winning form again. BARNFIELD TITAN (4) is a newcomer from the M L Locke kennel. Profiles nicely but market best guide to ability.

Winner two starts back at Star Pelaw when scoring by one length in 26.21. Last start finished last in a OR on January 29 over 480m at this track behind Ballymac Buddy beaten 12 lengths (29.36). Happy enough to avoid.

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 28.56. Capable of a strong show.
