Sunderland Bags Race 5

The Future Of Racing: PGR TV Stakes

Prize Money: $837

WILLOWS HOPE (1) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 1.5 lengths (28.10) at this track in an A6 over 450m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Must come into calculations. ARDMOULIN EAGLE (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 450m (28.38). Cannot be taken lightly. BALLYQUIN IZZY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 450m behind Bawn Dawn (29.19) in an A6. Comes through a solid form race last start. Shapes as one to consider. ON BOARD (4) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Moderate debut over 480m at Tralee when sixth (30.03) and beaten 12 lengths. Likely to be much improved. Hard to tip with any confidence.
