The Arena Racing Company Dual Distance Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,592

HERE COMES BOB (1) posted a head turning 25.53 winning over 435m at Star Pelaw last start. In form and looks the one to beat again. ROMEO HANYU (4) followed a moderate sixth at Newcastle two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, in a OR2 at this track over 450m (27.94). Suited here and looks a leading player on best. AFFANE FOX (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (26.32) over 435m at Star Pelaw in a OR. Key runner on best form. SUNNYSIDE PENNY (5) is still a maiden but is regularly in the top-three.
