Sunderland Bags Race 3

Sunday Roast Lunch At Sunderland Dogs Stakes

Prize Money: $730

RACKETHALL RUTH (2) could manage only third at this track last time but impressed when posting a swift 15.88 over 261m at this track the start prior. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. BLUE HOPE (4) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a close-up second then scored by 4.5 lengths in a D5 last time at this track over 261m (16.07). Up a grade but hard to fault on that latest effort. A real threat again. ALTERNATIVE PICK (5) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 261m behind Avalon Pestana (17.08) in a D4. Placed at his previous run. Should be about the money. LAURENS LADY (3) won in smart time most recently. Right in the mix.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 261m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Prepared to overlook.

Quickly away last start and finished third over 261m at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in a D4 on August 3 over 261m at this track behind Avalon Pestana beaten 7 lengths (17.08). Missed the frame last time but prior to that had four placings in a row.
