Perry Barr Bags Race 8

Arena Racing Company Laurels Heat 6

Stake: $1,932

ANTIGUA KESTREL (2) will make his presence felt on the back of recent top-three finishes. BACON ROLL (5) broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track last start, taking a OR3 in a dazzling 28.21. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ROMEO STEEL (1) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last four on end, the latest at this track (28.22). Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. Drawn the rails and rates a key runner. LONG FELLOW (3) missed the placings first up then scored by 3 lengths at this track last start over 480m (28.31). This tougher but in form and expected to play a big role again.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 480m at this track in a handy 28.22, beating Antigua Kestrel. Flying lately and can score again.

Charged out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional recording 28.31 in a 3 length win at this track last time. This tougher again and prefer the place again.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to score in a OR3 by 3 len at this track over 480m (28.21). Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Racing consistently without winning, finishing in the minors six on end. Last start flew out of the boxes and sizzled early but gathered in and finished second (28.55) at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
