Sunderland Bags Race 8 - The Arena Racing Company Puppy Trophy Semi-Final 3
ANNADOWN CHIP (2) is a talented type who boasts a strong winning strike-rate at this distance. Has quickly put himself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Latest win recorded a handy 27.05 at this track. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from three starts. Can continue on his winning ways. TAYLOR THE BEST (6) is looking to continue her winning ways off an outstanding 27.19 success at this track. In form and looks a leading player again. ROMEO DUTCH (3) bolted in last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in slick time (27.21) to take a OR2 in a new PB this course and distance. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. LOVE THE DOGS (5) is sure to play a big role again after a run of minor placings.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
