Sunderland Bags Race 2 - The Arena Racing 450 Div1
BALLYMAC BUDDY (3) missed the frame but ran a swift fourth at Sheffield over 500m in 29.36. Has the ability and looks hard to top. SOLE FOCUS (1) jumped from this same trap and led until late but run down, finishing a 2.75 lengths third (29.88) at Doncaster over 483m in a OR. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SALEEN RI (6) is a strong form, jumping from this same trap to score (25.56) by 4.5 lengths in a IV at Star Pelaw last time and making it back to back wins. Key chance on best form. TODDYS WOLF (5) was below best last time at Dunstall Park (29.32) in a OR1, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Already a winner from this trap.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in a OR1 on April 12 over 500m at Sheffield behind Annadown Shadow beaten 9 lengths (29.36). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
