Sheffield Bags Race 8

Owlerton Stadium Super Stayers

Stake: $1,560

SWIFT JAFAR (1) broke from this trap and proved too strong when a 1.75 lengths winner in fast time (29.55) in an A5 at this track. Can continue the winning form. GEELO MINTY (2) has missed the frame the last couple but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 660m at this track, taking a HCP in a quick 39.32. Top win three back and can measure up again. GARFINEY BLAZE (3) is a promising dog in the frame at 10 of 46 starts including 29 wins and was a last start winner (40.60) over 664m at Central Park. Strike rate this distance strong having won 25 of 30 tries. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. SHEFFIELD BELLA (4) cannot be left out despite racing over this journey for the first time.

First go at this trip. Last appeared when fourth over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start she should be prominent at the business end.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 5.5 lengths at Central Park (40.60) beating Wonderful Abi in a OR on June 28. Has scored 10 times from this trap. Key runner.

Back to 720m which hasn't been kind to date. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 1.3 lengths (29.52) in a HCP over 500m at this track. Forgive the lastest result. Solid claims.
