Sheffield Bags Race 8

The Airship Stakes

Prize Money: $828

GEELO MINTY (6) got around the 660m at this track to take a HCP in a solid 39.32 for a 7 length victory. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ROCKMOUNT KATE (5) has a strong overall record having 10 wins and 18 places from 41 starts including a last start second (39.93) over 660m at this track. Form here sound including eight wins. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. GRANDMA ROO (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Slippy Daniel (30.17) in an A6. Got back and turned spotting a start but found the line impressively. Expected to feature. PASS THE BUCK (3) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time when jumped from scratch in a handicap, finishing fifth, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 660m (40.61). Tackles another handicap here and jumps with a 6m advantage.

Finished second last start over 500m at this track behind Slippy Daniel in an A6. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Solid chance with even luck.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 660m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Has struggling of late. Finished fourth two starts back at this track then off scratch in a handicap and was again out of the placings at this track over 660m (40.61). Will jump from the 6m mark. Cannot be underestimated.

Followed a win in a handicap when off 6m at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fourth last start, beaten 42 lengths, in a OR at Star Pelaw over 780m (50.98). Back to a handicap here and will start off 4m.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 660m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Was far too good in her handicap debut, scoring a soft win breaking from 4m by 7 lengths over 660m at this track (39.32). Tackles another handicap here and will start off scratch. In form and sure to prove hard to beat again.
