Sunderland Bags Race 12

Friday Night Executive Boxes @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes

Stake: $1,020

NIXON DRIVE (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 28.06 beating CANYA MARY. Hard to go past. MARLFIELD DAISY (6) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten 3.5 lengths (28.03). Expected to feature again. FREEWAY SULTAN (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (28.10) in an A4 at this track. Bold showing expected. CANYA MARY (4) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers. Something for the Multiples: BALLYNEW RAIN (2)

Was out of the placings at final run of debut campaign, finishing fifth (29.84) at Enniscorthy before going for a six months spell. Will need everything to go right.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 450m at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 450m (28.03). Can continue the solid form.
