Sheffield Bags Race 1

Friday 20Th June

Stake: $849

DISTANT ANNIE (3) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A4 at this track (29.48). Has the ability and expected to go close. WAITING SO LONG (5) missed the frame last time when fifth (29.77) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. YES ALANA (2) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in second (29.79) at this track in an A4 over 500m. Leading player again. HAWK JET (4) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.
