Sunderland Bags Race 8

The Arena Racing Company Winner Of One Standard Final

Stake: $2,243

CROOKS STEVIE (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 27.04 beating MILLHILL GRACE. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. REBEL COLUMBUS (3) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and two minors from 12 tries. Hit the frame latest (27.39) when second at this track in a OR3. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. HIGHVIEW NELL (2) was a brilliant 27.16 winner at this track last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. BRAMBLE ELVIS (1) is a chance after winning last time.

Good effort to score last start by 1.5 lengths over 450m at this track in 27.16, beating Aulton Jim. This looks too tough.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 450m at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored three on the run. Ran right away with it latest with a 27.04 success over 450m at this track. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.
