Sunderland Bags Race 4

Premier Greyhound Racing Classic Heat 2

Prize Money: $1,619

BALLYMAC BUDDY (1) could manage only sixth at this track last time but caught the eye when clocking a lightning 26.89 over 450m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MILLHILL MAY (3) boasts a strong record this journey with 19 wins and 18 minors from 54 tries. Scored by 8 lengths last time (27.20) in a OR over 450m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. PRESSURE TIE (4) turned heads when clocking a dynamic 25.79 over 435m at Star Pelaw. Has the ability and looks a key chance. HOLLYHILL KING (5) was below best last time at this track (27.62) in a OR3, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has already won six times from this trap.
