Sunderland Bags Race 9 - Friday Night Winning Deal @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes
HAVANA SPECIAL (6) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 5 last time (16.00) at this track. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from seven starts. Likely to feature again. HARLEQUIN EILISH (5) struggled to get involved last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by a nose at this track (15.88) beating Kingdom Kid in a D1 on February 3. Likely to be about the money. MONLEEK JAKARTA (3) finished well back at this track last time when a 4.5 lengths sixth (16.47) but recorded best time of the card when winning five back. Has ability and is one of the better chances. CARRICK ROONEY (4) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into third over 261m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 261m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
