Sunderland Bags Race 8 - Friday Night Executive Boxes @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes
HAVANA SPECIAL (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Star Pelaw in a handy 15.06 beating Get Me Home. Expected to measure up again. SLEEPY BALE (6) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed a D2 by a nose at this track over 261m (15.97) last time. In winning form and worth following up despite rising a grade. BALLYROE BLUE (3) could manage only third but ran sharp time (15.91) at this track over 261m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. ESSEX JEWEL (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Last start finished last in a D1 on February 8 over 261m at this track behind Cloncunny Black beaten 4.5 lengths (16.10). Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in a D1 at this track over 261m (15.91), beaten 2.25 lengths. In reasonable form and should play a big role.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 261m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Will be tested in this company.

Good performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a D2 by nose at this track over 261m (15.97). Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
