Sheffield Bags Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $748

ABIGAILS PADJOE (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 29.31 beating Trickys Matilda. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Form reads well for this. ACOMB BLOSSOM (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating No Rainbows. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. WHOLOVESYE (3) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a neck (29.69) behind Golfing Queen at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. RATHCOOLE HONEY (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing second behind Golfing Queen in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Impressive of late in handicaps. Placed two back at this track then won when started off 3m at this track over 500m (29.31). Will jump off scratch. Capable handicapper who has 13 wins and 18 placings from 35 runs from the staggered start.
