Sunderland Bags Race 4 - Celebrating 100 Years Of Canine Sporting Legends

VALE BLACKBIRD (5) is a consistent performer who placed last time over 450m at this track in an A6, beaten half a length (27.98). Transitioning to a handicap for the first time and will break off 4m. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again. WILLOWS HOPE (6) made it two in a row in the handicaps when she scored by 5 lengths last start when starting off scratch at this track over 450m (27.69). Will jump off scratch. Reliable handicapper who has recorded three wins in six runs from the staggered starts. Likely to measure up again. SKEARD BETTY (4) makes her handicap debut and will be starting 6m from the scratch dog. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m in an A6 at this track (28.79). Not to be underestimated. WHITISIT (2) racing well in handicaps. In the money at Newcastle two back then finished runner-up at her latest appearance when off 10m at this track over 450m (28.12). Will enjoy the 13m start. Not out of the equation.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Newcastle then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in a HCP at this track over 450m (28.12). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Ran her usual honest race last time out when placed in an A6 over 450m at this track (27.98). Tackling a handicap for the first time and has a 4m start on the scratch dog. Key chance who will be difficult to stop.

Made it two in a row in the handicaps, the latest when off scratch at this track over 450m (27.69). Breaks from the back. Reliable handicapper who has recorded three wins in six runs from the staggered starts. The one they have to overcome.
