Sunderland Bags Race 11 - £10 Summer Winning Deal

STORMY SHELBY (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (16.19) at this track. Sure to be about the mark. SWIFT VERIFIED (4) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track but scored three back at this track (15.74). Returns to favourable track. The form out of last race has been strong. Cannot be taken lightly. VEGAS KEMOSABE (5) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and five minors from 11 tries. Placed last time (16.10) at this track in a D2, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. ESSEX JEWEL (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to atone.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 261m in a D2 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
