Sheffield Bags Race 11

The THORNTREE BADGER Retirement Stakes

Prize Money: $567

SPEEDY BAS (5) is in top form, scoring by 1.3 lengths (16.47) over 280m at this track and making it back to back wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance again. LA FLOR (2) was a course and distance placegetter (16.78) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 4 length third in a D3. Leading player again. JOLLY FLEURS (4) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (16.66) at this track latest. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. THORNTREE BADGER (1) is always hard to beat when she races here at this trip.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 280m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 280m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Hard to have this time.
