Sunderland Bags Race 9

The Arena Racing Company Standard Maiden Final

Stake: $2,243

PUNCH A HOLE (3) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 2.75 lengths (27.21) at this track. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat. STRIKE IT BELLE (2) could manage only second at this track last time but impressed when posting a flying 27.37 over 450m at this track the start prior. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. IN THE CLOUDS (5) was prominent early from trap four and stalked the lead before levelling up to score (27.43) at this track in OR3 over 450m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. BORN MAGIC (6) cannot be overlooked following a recent narrow defeat after leading.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Delivered a much better performance last start when second over 450m at this track in a OR3. Found one better last time. Looks well placed and is worth following up.
