Sheffield Bags Race 9

The Night Continues @ Napoleons Casino

Prize Money: $585

FOREST MAGIC (2) hit the ground running from this same trap last time and led much of the way but nabbed late when a 1.3 lengths second (29.79) in an A3 at this track. Well worth another try. MARLFIELD OSCAR (1) got the job done again after box seating to make it two on end, scoring by 1.3 lengths (29.68) at this track over 500m. In top form and looks a key chance again. MAY BID (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by one length last start at this track over 500m (29.45). Faces stiffer opposition but hard to leave out. STRADBALLY MAC (4) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 500m (30.11). Likely to play a prominent role.

Sound effort to finish second last start over 500m at this track (29.79) in an A3. Form strong at this course and distance, with three wins and a placing from six starts. Makes strong appeal.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in an A4 by 1.0 len at this track over 500m (29.45). In form but prepared to risk this time.

Comments

In the money two back then well supported last start but he finished 4th in an A3 on May 13 over 500m at this track behind Doris beaten 3.5 lengths (30.11). Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
