Sheffield Bags Race 5

Owlerton Stadium Standard - Div 1

Prize Money: $1,609

GROUCHOS COSSIE (2) goes very well at the course and distance with seven wins and a placing from 11 starts. Recorded a nose win (28.42) in a OR last time at Monmore. Rates on top and should go close. ROMEO FORCE (3) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (29.44) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minor placings. Bold showing expected. SO ITS STRATE (1) is a handy type who notched his 9th career success when too good (39.67) from Box 2 at this track. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from six starts. Bold showing expected again. CATUNDA CIARAN (6) was in the money last start in fast time - poses a threat again.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the trot. Continued winning form latest with a 28.42 success over 480m at Monmore. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Comments

In the money two back then well supported last start but he finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 4 lengths (29.44) behind Countess Penny in a IV on August 23. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 660m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing second (29.29) last time at this track over 500m. Broke a two-start winning streak with the minor placing last time. Can bounce back.
