Sunderland Bags Race 7 - The Arena Racing Company Standard Div.1
SLINGSHOT POPPY (5) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won eight times from nine starts. Below best last time at Towcester (18.85) in a OR2, finishing a 50 length sixth. Looks well placed and should feature. DROOPYS SORT (1) lines up chasing another win after scorching around Doncaster over 450m in 27.62 on June 20. Has the ability and can measure up again. BALLYMAC BUDDY (2) scored two back when on speed but last start drifted back and could manage only a 5 length 4th at Newcastle (28.92). Has a strong record from box 2, including five wins. Should play a prominent role. CUNNIGAR KING (3) bold run expected on best form.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 5 lengths (28.92) in a OR over 480m at Newcastle. Nicely placed to atone.

Racked up four wins on the trot before finishing sixth (18.85) in a OR2 over 270m at Towcester last time. Deserves another chance.
