Sheffield Bags Race 9

Christmas Owners? Bonus Series 21St Trophy

Prize Money: $1,016

HEADFORD ROVER (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only half a length from the winner Romeo Missile (29.11) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up this time. IFSBUTSANDMAYBES (5) finished second last time (29.22) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. APPROVED STAR (2) shapes well for this on her handy win a few runs back, getting around this track over 500m in 29.27 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Should be in this for a long way. CHOCTAW TONY (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.
