Sunderland Bags Race 7

Sunderland-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Prize Money: $950

ROUGH JOY (4) was in the money last time at this track (27.72) in an A3, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Has already won four times from this trap. Expected to go close. PARKVIEW DUKE (5) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 5 and went on to finish third (27.82) at this track in an A3 over 450m. Will give a great sight again. DE BLACK SWALLOW (1) is racing well, claiming an A2 win two back before finishing third at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 450m (27.85). Should enjoy this easier assignment. Expected to feature. PORT WEST BALE (6) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (28.15) last time in an A2 at this track.

Filled a minor placing last time over 450m (27.72) at this track in an A3, beaten 1.75 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from 11 tries. Makes strong appeal.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 450m in an A3 at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.
