Sunderland Bags Race 4

Durham & District Retired Greyhounds Stakes

Prize Money: $919

RUSSMUR JOSH (5) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 450m (28.36). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Should be very hard to beat this time. LOUIS HOPE (4) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (27.92) at this track in an A5 over 450m. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. FRUITY NINJA (2) racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then scored at his latest appearance by 3 lengths in an A8 at this track over 450m (28.37). Tackles a handicap here and will be starting 8m from the scratch dog. Likely to be thereabouts again. LIE FORRIT LUCKY (3) makes her handicap debut and will jump off 4m. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m in an A5 at this track (28.42). Rates among the winning hopes.

Could only manage fifth two starts back when starting off scratch in a handicap at this track then third in an A2 at this track over 450m (27.92). Back to a handicap and will start off scratch. This might be too tough.
