Newcastle Bags Race 7 - Arena Racing Company Stakes

CAHERMONE BEST (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (29.15) at this track. Can bounce back. CROOKS NOTTOFAR (5) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A4 two back then scored by 1.3 lengths in an A3 last time at this track over 480m (28.89). Up another grade but hard to fault recent form. A real threat again. OUR CHIEF (4) ran good time (28.99) winning an A2 at this track when jumping from this same trap. Can measure up again. KUMA ABDU (6) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Good effort to score last start by 2.75 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.05, beating Slingshot Nessy. Can't recommend him in this.
