Sunderland Bags Race 8

The Premier Greyhound Racing Classic Semi-Final 3

Stake: $1,720

ROMEO STEEL (1) won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged making it seven straight, scoring by 4 lengths (27.02) at this track over 450m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Well placed and will be tough to beat. SLINGSHOT POPPY (4) scored by 6 lengths last time (26.78) in a OR1 over 450m at this track. Has already won four times from this trap. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. UNANIMOUS LEON (3) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 6 lengths away in second (27.28) at this track in a OR1 over 450m. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from seven starts. Expected to feature. NO BETTER FEELIN (2) was in the money last start and wasn't beaten far - should feature again.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 450m at this track in a handy 27.02, beating Santas Amigo. Has run hot time here with a 27.02 PB at the distance.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last four starts, the latest when third (27.29) over 450m at this track. Looks a solid contender.

Good effort after racing on the speed to score in a OR1 by 3 len at this track over 450m (27.18). Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR1 by 0.8 len at this track over 450m (27.56). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
