Newcastle Bags Race 3 - Arena Racing Company Maiden Standard - Division One
VINEGARHILL RHYS (5) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 2.75 lengths (26.32) at Star Pelaw in a OR over 435m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SLINGSHOT LOUIE (1) hit the frame latest (29.10) when third at this track in an A1. Has already won out of this trap. Can feature with the right run. CRAFTY HOPSCOTCH (2) is a talented type who boasts a strong winning strike-rate at this distance. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Last start won Sunderland in a handy 27.50 beating Isidor Eighteen. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Leading chance again. FIVE OFA KIND (3) is likely to have admirers.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 450m at Sunderland in a handy 27.50, beating Isidor Eighteen. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 450m at Sunderland. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.
