Sunderland Bags Race 11

The Arena Racing Company Standard Maiden Heat 2

Stake: $1,626

PUNCH A HOLE (5) shapes well after a good run last time, finishing third in an A1 at this track in 27.24. In the money latest and can measure up here. NEWYORK FITZY (6) produced a moderate run last time when sixth at this track over 261m behind Carrick Rooney (20.98) in a OR3. Can do much better this time. STRIKE IT BELLE (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Scored by 3 lengths last time (27.37) in an A2 over 450m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. BUICKS HOPE (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 450m in an A1 at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.
