Newcastle Bags Race 4 - Arena Racing Company Sprint
BALLYMAC SHONTAE (6) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from three starts. Missed the frame latest (17.37) when fifth over 290m at this track in a OR. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. CROOKS MACKEMBOY (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (28.73) last time out at this track. Has a strong record here including four wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Well-placed to take this out. NIOSFEARRNABOLT (2) finished in the money three on end before breaking through for an overdue win last start (17.20) at this track. Has a good record here including two wins. Expected to feature on best form. ADAMANT KEANE (4) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3 length third (29.02) over 480m at this track last time. Happy enough to avoid.

Winner two starts back at Monmore when scoring by 5 lengths in 15.32. Last start finished 5th on August 6 over 290m at this track behind Slingshot Gazza beaten 9 lengths (17.37) in a OR. Well placed here and gets chance to bounce back.
