Sheffield Bags Race 1

Friday 26th June 2026

Prize Money: $777

MR HANDSOME (4) was well supported last time but could only manage third (30.16), beaten 10 lengths. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Overdue and gets his chance. HEADFORD MAPEL (2) jumped from this trap and scored an A4 win at this track over 500m latest (29.50). Has a very consistent record off this same draw, including two and three places from seven starts. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BATTSTREET REBEL (1) scored by 0.8 lengths last time (29.80) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. LETTER MAGIC (3) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A4 by 1.0 len at this track over 500m (29.50). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
