Sunderland Bags Race 5 - Sunday Roast Lunch At Sunderland Dogs Stakes

RACKETHALL RUTH (4) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (16.10) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning 22 races. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BALLYMAC RACHEL (6) doesn't win out of turn. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (16.17) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature. FLYING SECRET (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten half a length (16.27) behind Crafty Doro at this track. Can measure up. RUSTYS COUNCEL (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone. Something for the Multiples: SHANBALLA GREEN (3)
