Newcastle Bags Race 4

Arena Racing Company Summer Dash - Heat Two

Stake: $1,757

LINKS JESTER (1) rocketed around 280m at Sheffield in 16.15 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. SLINGSHOT GAZZA (3) missed the frame latest when sixth at Dunstall Park (29.46) but was a winner five back in the best time of the program. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of six starts. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including two wins, from four starts. Great chance to atone. PRESSURE TIE (6) steps out at this track for the first time after an average run at the latest appearance, finishing sixth at Star Pelaw over 435m behind Mossend Jan . The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ROMEO VEGA (4) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others preferred on this occasion.

Missed the frame when sixth at over 480m Dunstall Park at his last run three-and-a-half months ago. Looks a definite winning chance.
