The Sunderland BAGS SIS 500 is an A4 competition, the final of which takes place this Tuesday 14th February at 5.17pm. Although it’s only a graded event, the SIS 500 does prove popular with punters and the bookmakers provide a market well in advance of the final. Three heats took place last Thursday, with the six fastest dogs making it through to the final.
Heat 1 saw 5/2 favourite Tsarina Lena victorious in a time of 27.32s beating Winetavern Jolie by four lengths. In Heat 2, Anacartan Lark got away from the boxes very well to produce an upset winning at odds of 6/1. He beat 5/4f Mahon Rye by three lengths in a time of 27.49s to join kennel mate Tsarina Lena in the final. The last heat of the day looked the most competitive on paper and that proved to be the case as 5/2 chance Mil Millie showed good early pace to defeat Nervous Vicky by a head in a time of 27.65.
The Sunderland BAGS SIS 500 final looks like it could be a very exciting race, but possibly for all the wrong reasons! There are no wide runners in the contest and other than rail runner Anacartan Lark in trap 1, the greyhounds are all middle runners. While I was very impressed with the performance of Tsarina Lena in her heat, I think the value lies with the other runner from the Miller yerd, Anacartan Lark from the one box. He was beaten by Tsarina two runs ago but encountered a bit of trouble that day and the draw has been very kind to him here. If this greyhound can trap as well as he in his heat last week, he could well get clear of any potential trouble and nip round on the inside to take this decent graded prize. Hill‘s go a stand out price of 7/2 on Anacartan Lark, and I think that looks very decent value especially considering he’s as short as 5/2 elsewhere.
