Sunderland Bags Race 5 - Arc Standard
BALLYMAC BUDDY (3) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 4 lengths (26.89). Looks a top chance again. ROLO GENIE (1) produced a sharp 29.33 despite finishing fourth over 500m at Sheffield last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance. LINKS JESTER (4) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his excellent win a few runs back, getting around this track over 450m in 27.44. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. SOLE FOCUS (2) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.

Last start finished 4th over 500m at Sheffield beaten 6 lengths (29.33) behind Holding Blaze in a OR1 on October 4. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in a OR3 by 4 len at this track over 450m (26.89). Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in a OR on October 10 over 435m at Star Pelaw behind Pressure Tie beaten 6 lengths (26.28). Is a danger.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th in a OR3 on September 25 over 450m at this track behind Links Jester beaten 1.75 lengths (27.58). Can't recommend him in this.

Followed a minor placing at Newcastle two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 5 lengths, last start in a IV at Newcastle over 480m (29.01). This might be too rich.
