Sunderland Bags Race 6

Sunderland-Greyhounds.co.uk Stakes

Prize Money: $940

FIRMINO BUBBLE (5) doesn't show much early dash but winds into her races, two back missing the frame but last time hitting the line hard to place when second (28.25) in a HCP at this track last time. Good form should continue. MILLHILL ROVER (6) continued the strong recent form in handicaps when he finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, last start when off 5m at this track over 450m (27.64). Will start off scratch. Hard to knock the recent form. WESTFORTH WILLOW (4) continued the strong recent form when she tackled a handicap when off 3m and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, at this track over 450m (28.28). Will jump off 3m. Will be thereabouts again. GROVESHILL FLARE (3) improved last time out when and jumping from a 7m advantage in a handicap, finishing second and beaten a nose at this track over 450m (27.78). Will break from the 7m mark. Sure to be about the money.

Makes her handicap debut and will break from the 10m mark. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m in an A8 at this track (28.95). This looks tough - others rate better.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 450m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.
