Sunderland Bags Race 6

Be A Vip In An Executive Box @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes

Stake: $899

SLAMANNAN VILLA (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (27.79) behind Headford Srange at this track. Deserves serious consideration. MURHUR STORY (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (28.44) in an A4 at this track over 450m. Expected to feature in the finish. LIGHTFOOT SADIE (4) is rarely out of the finish, recording 12 places from 20 starts. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (28.17) at this track. Solid record here winning two races. Expected to be in this for a long way. ALLOWDALE BONO (5) is likely to have admirers.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 450m in an A4 at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

Below best last start when he finished last on January 6 over 450m at this track behind Cloondarone Lucy beaten 8 lengths (28.46) in an A4. Others make more appeal.

Finished third last start over 450m at this track behind Allowdale Bono in an A4. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Capable of improvement.
