Sunderland Bags Race 3

The Arena Racing Company Winner Of One Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,756

BORNEO BUCKS (5) finished in the minors last start over the 261m at this track but ran a handy 15.87 last start. Expected to push the clock again here. BRAMBLE IDRIS (3) tackled far tougher grade latest when finishing 4th over 261m at this track. Was a winner the start prior in easier at this track. Bold showing expected. HOFFA EPIC (2) could manage only third at Star Pelaw last time but impressed when posting a solid 14.67 over 245m at Star Pelaw the start prior. Top win two back and can measure up again. SIMPLE SIMON (1) missed the frame two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in a OR at Star Pelaw over 245m (14.92). This far easier and can improve sharply.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.5 lengths in 15.84. Last start finished 4th over 261m at this track beaten 5 lengths (15.97) behind Sunnyside Jayden in a OR3 on August 29. Better than that and worth following up.
