Sunderland Race Fields - 13th Jan 2025

STONEPARK PATSY (trap 5) has a strong following here and there's no obvious reason why his fans won't be back for more today as he looks the most likely. Tullymurry Socks (trap 3) would have a serious chance if enjoying the early involvement he craves. Good Edge (trap 4) would get amongst them if as keen as mustard on the starting grid.

ROCKING SKYE (trap 2) recently struck a winning chord and could bring the sound of sweet music to her supporter's ears again today. Avalon Pestana (trap 3) should be included as he looks certain to play a part in the finish. The market may suggest Go Go Harri (trap 1) is up against but it isn't always right you know!

It's easy to be taken by KINGDOM KID (trap 6) in this field and he gets the vote for sure. With a decent start, he should soon be in a winning position. Burning Phantom (trap 3) has the ability to make plenty of noise and looks the main danger. Autumn Meadow (trap 4) picked up the winner's purse recently and has claims.

Things look a lot more straight forward so far as CORBRACK AMIGO (trap 1) is concerned today and it could well make all the difference. The downgraded Ballymac Xavier (trap 2) should perform with more urgency and make a fist of it. The pace of Gringos Magico (trap 4) is often immediate and he has a chance as a result.

A fair few punters will want a piece of the action with MARINAS MACAU (trap 5) today and it's not difficult to see why. On form, she should oblige with ease. Blueridgethunder (trap 6) certainly has the ability to get involved and looks the biggest threat. Bluesky Bella (trap 1) looks one of the leading players - will the market echo those thoughts?

JAMAICA JUSTSO (trap 6) is expected to be the subject of all the pre-race hype and with a high degree of justification. If running up to his recent form, he should win. Franklyns Dream (trap 5) has a good opportunity especially if enjoying nominal good fortune en route. What A Ceilidh (trap 1) will be one of the leading fancies, but needs to steer a hassle-free passage.

NOIRS JENNY (trap 4) looks pretty good in this line-up. With an uninterrupted passage around the early bends, she can be first to break the tape. Allowdale Solo (trap 6) can run a big race even though the market may suggest this is far from easy. Peking Opera (trap 3) is no stranger to the winner's zone and may be hungry for more.

Sufficient punter involvement is expected on LEAVE BEHIND (trap 2) now she is dropped in class and the anticipated support can be justified. Slowdown Seamus (trap 3) rates the obvious danger, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Mahoonagh Mint (trap 1) is harder to predict than most but it may pay to keep her on your side.

GROUP GOLDIE LOX (trap 1) can beat the postman to work and is fancied to quickly stamp her authority on proceedings and deliver the goods. Classy Cutie (trap 3) has medal possibilities if things go to plan but she may just find the selection too good. Lightupthesky (trap 2) knows what success feels like and she should be involved at the business end.

CORAN BONO (trap 6) could be the answer to this. A clear run is paramount but, if enjoying one, he could well have the legs of these. The fan club of Goulane Willow (trap 3) oozes members and she has a big shout at pulling this out of the fire. Cascade Phoenix (trap 1) is in the equation and commands some consideration.

Don't expect a decent price about SOME VENTURE (trap 3), but do expect a big run on the track and she can put these rivals firmly in their place. Ballymac Perez (trap 1) is downgraded so is certainly one to mull over and a saver forecast may be the way to go. Burrow Minstrel (trap 5) needs to get on the bunny on the 'g' of go to have a proper chance.

BILLY BLUE SHOES (trap 4) goes up fast and is fancied to turn the screw from the front against these and remain in pole position throughout. There's no real reason why Calton Bhoy (trap 6) shouldn't run well and keep the selection true. The layers are often inundated with support for Oakview Diva (trap 1) and she is not without hope.
