Sunderland Bags Race 6

Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Stake: $898

CHASING NICHOLAS (1) claimed an A2 win two back before missing the frame at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 450m (28.02). Expected to bounce back this easier company. FANTASTIC DEAR (4) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A4 by a head at this track over 450m (27.88) last time. Goes up a level but on latest effort worth sticking with her. KERRYLANE IVY (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (29.58) last time in an A3 at this track. One of the better chances. RUTHERGLEN LAD (2) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by half a length at this track over 450m (28.08). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A4 by 0.5 len at this track over 450m (28.08). Can measure up again with the right run.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 450m at this track in a handy 27.88, beating Zesty Pineapple. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
