Sheffield Bags Race 9

Pick 4 Starts Here

Prize Money: $672

SHEFFIELD BELLA (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last five starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when second in an A7 at this track (30.22). Deserves another chance. TRULY SPECIAL (3) has been in great recent form scoring two on end, the latest an A8 by 0.8 lengths at this track over 500m (30.39). Expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. CLASSY CHLOE (4) finds it hard to break through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (30.06) at this track. Form here sound including 16 wins. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Ready to find winning form. CAPE LIBERTY (6) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.22). The one to beat.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
