20:37 SUNDERLAND: Brindle Bully (Trap 6)
Brindle Bully (6) made a strong impression in the first round by securing a win from just behind the leaders. This dog stands out as one of the best-positioned runners in the third PGR Classic semi-final at Sunderland (20:37). Known for his determination, Brindle Bully, trained by Dave Mullins, has carried his impressive form from Romford to the northeast. Last week, he overtook Bramble Linton (3), proving his strength and setting the stage for a potential place in next week’s final. A victory here would mark his eighth consecutive open-race win, a significant accomplishment. As the only wide-seeded entry in this race, he’s likely to pull ahead by the second turn, taking advantage of any crowding on the inside.
20:56 SUNDERLAND: Port West Storm (Trap 3)
In the Arena Racing Company Stayers (20:56), Port West Storm (3) is another exciting contender. She recently delivered a stellar performance over 575 meters at Romford, showing her potential for a longer stretch. Dean Blackbird’s skilled racer has already reached the top class over shorter distances, and though tonight’s race extends her range, she seems well-equipped with the speed to build an early lead and maintain it.
21:11 ROMFORD: Mad For Sterling (Trap 5)
Then there’s Mad For Sterling (5), affectionately called "Raheem" back at the kennels, who enters the Romford Friday Night 500 Stayers Final (21:11) with promising potential. Mark Wallis’ powerhouse proved his capabilities in the heats last week, finishing with a swift 35.31-second run. His best strategy here will be to stay clear of early congestion, allowing his late burst of speed to secure a strong finish.
