Sunderland Bags Race 5 - The Arena Racing Company Standard Heat 1

CUNNIGAR KING (1) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 4.5 lengths (27.78) at this track in an A1 over 450m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. The hardest to beat again. GRANTSTOWN CROSS (4) recorded two placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 4 lengths (27.89) at Sheffield. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. MADABOUT PECK (6) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by half a length (16.70) at Newcastle. Expecting another bold showing. SUNNYSIDE GURKHA (5) has strong credentials over this journey.

Moderate effort last start when he finished last on December 11 over 480m at Newcastle behind Strike It Skye beaten 17 lengths (29.65) in a OR2. Other runners look much more appealing.
