Sheffield Bags Race 6

Owlerton Stadium Sprint

Stake: $1,938

ROANNA MAMBA (2) has a strong record this trip with 16 wins and eight placings from 28 starts. Scored by 4 lengths last time (15.95) in a IV over 280m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. BALLYMAC SHONTAE (6) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage third (16.30) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading chance. HOYLAND LAD (4) has a strong overall record having seven wins and nine places from 23 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (16.40) over 280m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. ESSEX GUNNER (1) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Comments

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in a IV by 4 len at this track over 280m (15.95). Yet to be beaten in three starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

In the money at Dunstall Park at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 270m. No easier here and looks up against it.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 280m at this track in 16.30. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
