Newcastle Bags Race 4 - Arena Racing Company Summer Dash - Heat Two
LINKS JESTER (1) Placed 2nd last time at Sunderland but down in distance. In top racing shape this preparation. Appears well in this. ROMEO VEGA (4) Uncompetitive when 4th last run at Sunderland. Likely to bounce back but coming back in distance. Tracking very well this campaign. Goes close. FABULOUS REQUEST (2) Didn't threaten when 5th last time at this venue. Happy to overlook that run but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Will be positive in the run early. Worth a ticket. SLINGSHOT GAZZA (3) First up after 14 weeks and dashed home to win first up last preparation at the track. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Place makes best appeal.

Looked good when 2nd last time at Sunderland but will be down in distance. In a purple patch of form since coming back from a spell. Commands respect.
