Sunderland Bags Race 1

Sunderland-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Prize Money: $783

CHOCTAW HUSHI (6) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (28.89) at this track in an A8. Can make amends this time. SLOWDOWN HUNTER (2) has been in the frame at her last two runs, most recently when second (28.79) in an A8 over 450m at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. VINEGARHILL SPY (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 0.8 lengths last start at this track over 450m (28.63). Up a notch this time but in form and sure to give a good account. GROVESHILL FLARE (5) is right in the mix.

Opened winning account at this track two back then finished third (28.83) over 450m at this track. Harder here and place looks best without further improvement.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A8 on February 3 over 450m at this track behind Te Amo Ted beaten 2 lengths (28.89). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
