Central Park Bags Race 5

Arena Racing Company Kent Silver Salver Heat 1

Prize Money: $1,592

THURLESBEG PABLO (6) goes very well here starting nine times for six wins and two minors. Hit the frame latest (16.52) when second at this track in a OR. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. AVARUA LAKE (3) last raced on April 4 when sixth (17.16) over 285m at Hove in a OR. Overall form off this trap is sound. This looks easier and expected to run well. FALSE STRAP (2) is a progressive dog who scored his 3rd career win last time at this track, scoring by half a length (16.47). Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expected to feature again. GOTHIC OPERA (4) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (16.77), beaten 1.75 lengths.

Well supported last time and hit the ground running with a sizzling early split, scoring a 1.3 lengths win at Romford in 24.23. This tougher and will need to improve further.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored three on the trot. Turned in another winning performance latest with a 16.47 success over 277m at this track. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth in a OR over 285m at Hove ten weeks ago. Winner of both starts when resuming. Looks a key chance fresh.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Great Yarmouth then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a D3 at Great Yarmouth over 277m (16.77). Not to be underestimated.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Hove, before a half a length second (16.49) over 285m at Hove last time. Prepared to overlook.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 277m at this track in 16.52. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.
