Sunderland Bags Race 7 - Be A Vip In An Executive Box @ Sunderland Dogs Stakes

CHURCH ST KATIE (4) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 450m at this track in a decent 27.54 on February 22. Hard to top on the time from last start. WESTFORTH AVAYLA (6) finished fourth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in her solid 27.52 win at this track over 450m. Should be in this for a long way. NOIRS RITA (2) ran good time (27.93) when second last start over 450m at this track, the second placing in a row. Can improve sharply here. ALLOWDALE POPPY (5) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start. Something for the Multiples: EMERS NIAMH (1)

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy 27.54, beating Barnfield Chief. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with her.
