Newcastle Bags Race 7

Arena Racing Company Standard - Heat Two

Prize Money: $1,663

HOWAY TONALI (4) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (28.63). Goes very well from this trap. Super consistent and looks a key player. PARKVIEW SPRITE (2) struggled for best form latest, finishing 4th (27.79) in a OR at Sunderland. Has won here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Can do much better this time. SOLE FOCUS (3) is on a hot streak recording a 27.62 win over 450m at Sunderland last start following on from an exceptional 27.46 success at Sunderland over 450m the start prior. Expected to feature again. ELUSIVENOMORE (1) racing over this distance brings the best out in him. Something for the Multiples: GOTHIC JOSHUA (6) BOMBAY FANTASY (5)

Comes off a (28.63) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in an A1 over 480m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with nine wins and 10 minor placings from 26 tries. Key player and should go well.

Finished off last campaign with a fourth in a OR1 over 480m at this track nine weeks ago. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 4 len at Doncaster over 450m (28.08). Better off looking to others.
