Sunderland Bags Race 7

The Arena Racing Company Standard Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,595

BALLYMAC SHONTAE (5) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Sheffield over 280m (16.22). Has winning claims on his best figures. MILLHILL MAY (2) followed a placing two back with a sound second, beaten 1.3 lengths, last start in a OR at this track over 450m (27.17) and looks overdue for a win. Well placed this much easier class and looks a key runner based on best form. TAYLOR THE BEST (6) looks overdue after a minor placing two back then finishing runner-up at her latest appearance in a OR at this track over 450m (27.30). Deserves another chance this far easier class. BORN SCOOBY (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 8 lengths away in third (29.97). Likely to be in the finish again.

In the money at Sheffield at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this much harder. Must be included.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 2.25 len at this track over 450m (27.47). Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Last start finished 4th in a IV on September 6 over 280m at Sheffield behind Good Levi beaten 4 lengths (16.22). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
