Sunderland Bags Race 8

Prize Money: $1,628

STRIKE IT ALI (1) is in top form, scoring by 2.5 lengths (27.23) over 450m at this track and making it back to back wins. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ELEGANT SHADOW (6) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 480m at Newcastle, running a swift 28.83 in an A1. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. SLINKY DOG DASH (3) is generally an honest type in the frame at eight of 18 starts but missed the placings last time when fifth (27.86) over 450m at Doncaster. Expected to feature on best form. FABULOUS MARTINI (5) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 450m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Newcastle, before a 2.75 lengths second (28.83) over 480m at Newcastle last time. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
