Sunderland Bags Race 2 - Retired Greyhounds Make Great Pets Stakes

AVONGATE SHINE (4) had trap 5 and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from Barnfield Muffin in third (16.29) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Key chance in this line up. PRIVATE ROSIE (6) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, in a D3 at this track over 261m (16.59). Should improve this easier company. HELICOPTER JACOB (1) turned in a solid run last start over 261m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (16.64). Must be included in calculations. FAIREST LAKE (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 261m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
