Sheffield Bags Race 5

Owlerton Stadium 480

Prize Money: $1,609

EPIC COMMAND (3) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins and three placings. Comes off a (27.67) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a IV over 480m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. HOLDING BLAZE (1) missed the frame last time at Monmore but just three runs back rocketed around 480m at Dunstall Park in 28.04. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CASEYS JAROD (4) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3.5 lengths away in third (26.61). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature again. GLENROCK ACE (2) was in the money last start at a short quote - likely to feature again.

Finished third last start over 270m at Dunstall Park behind Skinnylittlemiss in a D1. Looks a solid hope.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a IV by 3 len at this track over 480m (27.67). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
