Sunderland Bags Race 7

The Arena Racing Company Dual Distance Trophy Final

Stake: $2,264

FRASER (4) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at this track over 261m by 4 lengths (15.71). The form out of his last race has been franked. Can measure up again. HAZELHILL PERCY (6) is in top form lately including a brilliant win at this track in 27.18 two back then backing it up with a 15.86 victory at this track over 261m latest. Definite danger again on recent form. LAUGHIL LARRY (5) boasts a strong record this journey with nine wins and five minors from 21 tries. Placed last time (16.15) at this track in a OR3, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Can feature with the right run. LINKS STOKER (2) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 4 length second (16.04) over 261m at this track last time. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 261m at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 27.25 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 261m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 261m at this track in a handy 15.71, beating Gartcloss Tam. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (16.15) over 261m at this track. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.
