Sunderland Bags Race 9

Friday Night Executive Boxes @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes

Prize Money: $815

GLENBOWEN MEL (2) beaten last start over the 261m at this track but finished in the minors in a decent 15.93. Should be in this for a long way. WESTFORTH KING (3) turned heads when posting a dominant 15.78 over 261m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance. FIRMINO BUBBLE (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (16.22), beaten 2.25 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Cannot be taken lightly. SHREWD LOCATION (4) scored with plenty to spare last time. Must be respected.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in a D2 on January 6 over 261m at this track behind Millhill Grace beaten 2.25 lengths (16.22). Has ability and worth including.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 261m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a D3 by 1.75 len at this track over 261m (15.78). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Good effort to score last start by 1.5 lengths over 261m at this track in 15.90, beating Comeonyouares. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th in a D2 on January 7 over 261m at this track behind Skywalker Kit beaten 6 lengths (16.08). Can't recommend him in this.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 261m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Prepared to risk this time.
