Sheffield Bags Race 12

Owlerton Stadium 480 - Div 1

Stake: $1,935

CATUNDA MAURA (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from 11 tries. Recorded a 7 length win (27.64) in a IV last time at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. ROMEO MISSILE (6) jumps from trap 6 again after placing (28.21) last time at this track over 480m. Worth following up. CROAGH PATRICK (2) drew this same trap last time when in the minors (16.31) in a D2 over 280m at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. DROOPYS ARTILERY (4) justified the favourite's tag last time and another big run is on the cards. Something for the Multiples: EASY MAXIMUS (1)

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 280m at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.
