Sunderland Bags Race 4

The Arena Racing Company 450 Heat 2

Stake: $1,932

LINKS MAVERICK (3) was a little disappointing last start at Perry Barr when 6th (16.90) over 275m. Form here at this distance is strong including five wins. The form out of his last race has been franked. Ready to return to form. SLEEPY MILLIE (6) was out of the placings last time but recorded an impressive OR win (27.20) at this track three runs back. Well placed here and can atone this time. BORN MAGIC (5) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time. ALWAYS WISHING (4) won by a wide margin last start. Sure to run well again.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 480m at Newcastle in 28.91. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Not seen at best last start when she finished last in a OR on April 6 over 480m at Sheffield behind Noharminthat beaten 7 lengths (28.70). Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Below his best last time over 275m at Perry Barr (16.90) in a IV, finishing 9 lengths away in sixth. Goes very well at this track and trip, including five wins. Leading player.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track (27.92) in a OR3. Boasts good form here at the journey with 11 wins and 14 minor placings from 31 tries. Has ability and should feature.
