Sunderland Bags Race 4 - The Arena Racing Company Maiden Heat 2

SUNNYSIDE GURKHA (4) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 450m behind Slingshot Poppy (27.51) in a OR2. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on his best form. EMERS BECKY (2) had been racing well prior to her last start fourth at this track following an A2 win three back with a third placing. Can hit the frame this time. RACKEM UP (5) could manage only third at this track last time but impressed when clocking a swift 27.49 over 450m at this track three starts ago. Should be in this for a long way. SIMPSON RHIAN (1) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 11 lengths, in a OR at Newcastle over 480m (29.58). This far easier so don't rule her out.

Last start finished last in a OR2 on June 27 over 450m at this track behind Slingshot Poppy beaten 9 lengths (27.51). Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row. Deserves another chance.
