Sunderland Bags Race 9

The Arena Racing Company 450 Final

Prize Money: $2,066

LINKS MAVERICK (3) goes very well here including six wins. Recorded a 3 length win (26.92) in a OR3 last time at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. SHINJIM MAGIC (4) was a last start winner (26.89) from Box 4 at this track. One of main contenders. CROOKS COCO (2) was edged out last time over 450m at this track but in a scintillating 27.06 when beaten 2 lengths behind SHINJIM MAGIC. Expected to feature again. SLEEPY MILLIE (6) has a strong record here with 11 wins and 15 placings from 32 starts. Placed last time (27.16) at this track in a OR3, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 450m at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.
