Sunderland Bags Race 10

The Arena Racing Company Stayers Heat 1

Stake: $1,949

BRAMBLE ELVIS (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but did finish in the minors in quick time three back (27.09) at this track in a OR3. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. STRIKE IT BELLE (2) has a strong overall record having four wins and nine places from 19 starts including a last start success (40.46) over 640m at this track. Solid record here winning three races. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. GREENHILL GINA (5) steps out a further 190m to an untried trip. Yet to win from this draw but has run some good races. Looks suited here and can measure up. ASHWOOD CHANEL (4) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 450m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.
