Sunderland Bags Race 1

Sunderland-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Stake: $1,011

YELLOW SAM (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow second then scored by one length in an A5 last time at this track over 450m (27.80). Hard to fault winning form and expected to feature despite the tougher grade. HONEST AND FRANK (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently. GREENHILL PATCH (6) showed good early speed but faded to a close 4th place finish (28.31) at this track over 450m. Has ability and is one of the better chances. CATCHABIRD (3) was a course and distance winner (28.12) last time also from the same draw, scoring by 1.75 lengths in an A5. Should be in this for a long way.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the trot. Continued winning form latest with a 28.26 success over 450m at this track. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Comments

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A5 by 1.0 len at this track over 450m (27.80). Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Star Pelaw then finished third at her latest appearance in an A5 at Star Pelaw over 435m (26.71). In form but this is a test.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Tempted to look elsewhere.
