Sheffield Bags Race 8

Owlerton Stadium Sprint

Prize Money: $1,426

ROCKING TAYLOR (2) is progressing well scoring last time out (15.96) at this track and bringing up his 15th career win. Solid record here at this trip including 12 wins. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. ELLANNE BEST (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 16.01 beating Sandwood Gabby. Should be in this for a long way. ACOMB IRENE (4) clocked a slick 29.20 finishing second in a OR at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. SPATTER THE DEW (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 13 lengths (28.92) behind Noharminthat in a OR on April 20. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing second behind Trickys Matilda in a OR. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 4, scoring 14 times.

Comments

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a OR by 1.5 len at this track over 280m (16.01). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Returned from a spell last time out in a OR at Sunderland and finished fifth over 261m (16.65). Will strip fitter but might struggle in this field.
