Sunderland Bags Race 2

Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

Prize Money: $672

HELICOPTER JACOB (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Brickkilnhennesy (16.61) in a D4. Deserves serious consideration. MALIBU JOTA (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (16.70) at this track behind Brickkilnhennesy in a D4. Can measure up. APPLEWOOD GIRL (6) is a last start placegetter in a D4, jumping from this trap and finishing a 4.5 lengths third over 261m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including five wins and 10 placings from 23 starts. Key chance on best form. AVALON PESTANA (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 261m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
