Sunderland Bags Race 12

@Sunderlanddogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $936

EMERS NIAMH (1) goes very well here starting 12 times for five wins and four minors. In the money last time at this track (27.86) in an A1, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Looks suited and should go close. CAPE SUNSET (4) is a last start A3 winner, jumping from this trap and scoring by 1.5 lengths over 450m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and 10 minors. Rates a key player again. HELICOPTER LOTTY (2) has mixed form but was in the money three back and wasn't far away last time at this track when fourth (27.92) in an A2. Has the ability and expected to do much better. HAZELHILL BLUE (6) is worth including after a top-three finish from the same draw most recently.

At debut showed good speed, leading throughout and won easily by 12 lengths at Tralee (28.46) beating Smart King in a ON2 on June 14. Facing tougher opposition here and place prospects best without further improvement.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.
