Sunderland Bags Race 5

@Sunderlanddogs On Twitter Stakes

Prize Money: $851

ANGLESEY EXILE (2) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.3 lengths (28.41) behind Fairest Day at this track. Top prospect. FERNDALE BUCKO (3) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (28.32) at this track. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Expected to feature. SPEEDY RITA (6) jumped from trap five and quickly into stride, leading for much of the way for second and beaten half a length (28.10) at this track in an A6 over 450m. Can measure up. HONEST AND FRANK (4) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
