Sunderland Bags Race 6

Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $921

MAINEVALLEY BALE (4) was in the minors two back (27.89) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can discover winning form. LIFFEYSIDE OAK (1) has strong credentials from this draw. PORT WEST BALE (6) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd on January 12 over 450m at this track behind Fair Well beaten 5 lengths (28.27) in an A3. Must be included in calculations. KILBROOK CLODAGH (3) is better than last start when fifth (28.04) from Box 4 at this track over 450m. The form from her last run stacks up well. One of the better hopes.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track (28.33) in an A3. Strong record this track and trip, including two wins from three starts. Among the main chances.

Last start finished last on January 1 over 450m at this track behind Resthaven beaten 9 lengths (28.36) in an A3. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
