Sunderland Bags Race 5 - The Arena Racing Company 450 Div1
BOWER SHEERAN (1) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 7 lengths (16.70) at Newcastle. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat. SUNNYSIDE GURKHA (5) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and 10 placings from 23 starts. In the money last time at this track (27.48) in a OR, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. PARKVIEW SPRITE (2) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (27.79) in a OR at this track. Form here at this distance is strong including three wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MOSSEND BUTE (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage fifth (26.01) at Star Pelaw. Strong form has emerged from his last run.

Yet to miss the frame and made it back to back wins with a 16.70 success in a IV at Newcastle last time. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only fourth over 450m at this track in 27.79. Has claims on best form.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing fifth over 435m at Star Pelaw on December 26. Winner of both starts when resuming. Definite threat.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at Nottingham, adding to some plain results of late. Happy enough to avoid.
