Sunderland Bags Race 7

The Arena Racing Company 450 Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,437

COPPICE SAPHIRE (2) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 27.12 beating Links Jester. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again. TAYLOR THE BEST (3) followed a OR2 win two back with a fifth, beaten 6 lengths, in a OR2 at Newcastle over 480m (29.14) last time. Suited here and well worth another try. DROOPYS LINK (6) missed the frame two starts back at Newcastle then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in a OR1 at Monmore over 480m (29.14). This far easier so don't rule him out. BRAMBLE ELVIS (1) will appreciate the drop in grade after following a moderate fourth two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 12 lengths, in a OR at Newcastle over 480m (29.75). Capable of a lot better this easier class.

Last start finished last over 480m at Newcastle beaten 12 lengths (29.75) behind Slingshot Blue in a OR on July 23. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th over 480m at Newcastle beaten 6 lengths (29.14) behind Untold Ariary in a OR2 on July 9. Has clocked a scorching 27 here at this trip. Leading player.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.
