Sunderland Bags Race 3 - The Arena Racing Company Standard (Division 1)
DROOPYS LINK (6) three runs back produced an outstanding 27.26 win over 450m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. DROOPYS ORATOR (4) has been in great recent form scoring two on end, the latest a OR3 by 4 lengths at this track over 450m (26.92). Key player on latest and worth following up despite the tougher class. BALLYMAC BUDDY (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 1 last run (28.78) at Newcastle. Has a strong record out of this box with six wins and a minor placing from 11 starts. Can feature again. BALLYMAC SARGIE (3) did a good job to finish third last time out over 450m at this track (27.25) in a OR, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when second (28.72) over 480m at Newcastle. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
