Sheffield Bags Race 1

Dave Valentine Supports Macmillan

Prize Money: $666

SWIFT STEP (5) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2.75 lengths away in third (29.56) at this track in an A4 over 500m. Has never been out of the placings from eight starts out of this box. Deserves serious consideration. BALLYMAC WHALER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 500m behind Ardrahan Aldante (30.04) in an A3. Was a winner the start prior. Can do much better this time. SMALL FUN (1) failed to threaten on debut finishing fourth (29.86) at this track over 500m. Can hit the frame this time. DA SAFETY NET (2) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.

Turned in a fair debut over 500m at this track where she settled on speed and faded late to finish fourth (29.86). Holds top-three claims.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Saleen Action in an A4. Thereabouts of late and can feature with the right run.

Comments

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.56) over 500m at this track. More than capable and has to be included.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 2 lengths at this track (29.67) beating Airfield Daisy in an A5 on September 4. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
