Sheffield Bags Race 5

Meet The Stars

Prize Money: $900

SLIPPY KEITH (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with 15 wins and 13 minors from 42 tries. Scored by 1.3 lengths last time (28.79) in an A1 over 500m at this track. Rates a leading player. CATUNDA CIARAN (6) has a strong record here with eight wins and 11 placings from 23 starts. Comes off a (28.91) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in an A1 over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. DISTANT HIKER (4) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage third (29.12) at this track. Will give a great sight again. ACOMB FELIX (2) form at this distance reads well.

Comments

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th in an A1 on July 13 over 500m at this track behind Slippy Keith beaten 5 lengths (29.19). Other runners look much more appealing.

In sparkling form lately having won five races on the trot. Well fancied last start won by a head at this track (29.14) beating Distant Hiker in a OR on July 6. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.12) over 500m at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
