Sunderland Bags Race 4 - The Arena Company Racing Standard 450 Heat 1
UNANIMOUS LEON (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.25 lengths at Newcastle in a handy 28.66 beating Droopys Sort. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to prove hard to beat. OSCAR THE GROUCH (2) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that clocked a head turning 15.96 win over 280m at Sheffield. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. HOLLYHILL KING (6) is a last start placegetter in a OR, jumping from this trap and finishing 2 lengths away in second over 450m at this track. Goes very well from this same draw winning four races. Harder here but expected to measure up. KELSEYS ZOOM (4) scored by 2.25 lengths last time (27.62) in an A1 over 450m at this track. Boasts a top strike-rate from this trap, winning three of five runs.

Form slipped last start when he finished last on April 2 over 480m at Newcastle behind Unanimous Leon beaten 7 lengths (29.27) in a OR. Can't recommend him in this.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 480m at Sheffield in a IV (28.88). Will strip fitter and looks sure to be in the finish.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Tempted to look elsewhere.
