Newcastle Bags Race 7 - Arena Racing Company Stakes
DROOPYS CALLA (2) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if she can recapture her lightning win a few runs back, getting around this track over 480m in 28.53. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. CROOKS GUCCI (3) finished well back at this track last time when a 5.5 lengths fifth (29.31) but scored four back at this track (29.00). Should be about the money. TAYLOR THE BEST (5) was safely held last time finishing a 10 length fifth at Sheffield (29.78) but back to the scene of her latest victory. Scored previously at this trip. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth another chance. TARANIS QAROUAL (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish from this box last time out. Something for the Multiples: TYNE TEES RICHIE (2)

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settling well back last time over 480m at this track but wound up late to finish third (29.34). Likely to be further improved. Has ability and worth including.

Well beaten when resuming over 500m at Sheffield, finishing fifth (29.78) and beaten 10 lengths. Fitter and looks one of the hopes in the race.
