Sunderland Bags Race 9 - The Arena Racing Company 450 Heat 3

VELVET GEORGE (5) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 0.8 lengths (15.85) at this track. Expected to go close again. SHINJIM MAGIC (4) has a strong record this trip with 16 wins and 13 placings from 48 starts. Scored by 4 lengths last time (27.04) in an A1 over 450m at this track. Can feature in the finish. HOLLYHILL KING (6) has missed the frame at his last couple but did finish in the minors in quick time three back (27.11) at this track in a OR3. Can improve sharply here. MILESTONE MO (2) picked up a cheque over this course and distance most recently - in the mix again.

Turned in a better effort over 450m at this track last start, finishing second behind Shinjim Magic in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 261m at this track (16.60) in a OR3. Boasts good form here at the journey with three wins and two minor placings from six tries. With even luck and a clean start he can sneak into the finish.
