Sheffield Bags Race 8

Thorncliffe And Wentworth Cc

Prize Money: $658

MINGLERS COURAGE (5) last start finished last over 280m at this track beaten 7 lengths (17.01) behind Inca Willow in a D3 on August 2. Expected to go close with a clean break. SWIFT STEP (6) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A6 by 4 lengths at this track over 500m (29.86) last time. May well be worth following up despite tackling tougher grade. DROOPYS ELENA (4) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (29.72), beaten 6 lengths. Deserves a win and gets her chance. CHASING EVIE (2) is worth consideration after filling a hole at this course and distance last start.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 1.3 len at this track over 500m (30.09). Looks a solid hope.

Good performance after racing on the speed to score in an A6 by 4 len at this track over 500m (29.86). Was in the money five on end before breaking through at the latest run. Stick with him.
