Sunderland Bags Race 11

Raise Money With Fund Racer From Sunderland Dogs Stakes

Prize Money: $815

RUSTYS COUNCEL (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Sunny Tab (28.27) in an A7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. One of the contenders. LADY OF RIVENDEL (5) is a last start placegetter in an A7, jumping from this trap and finishing a 3 length third over 450m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including 16 wins and 29 placings from 85 starts. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HOLLYHILL ROSE (4) had trap 4 last start and ran well to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, (28.16) at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. DISTANT BARBIE (3) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 450m (28.16). In solid form and can win without surprising.
