Sheffield Bags Race 11

The Barnsley Today Stakes

Stake: $836

UNIQUE FLIGHT (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Stay Longer (29.56) in an A5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Key chance in this line up. LA FLOR (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (16.58), beaten 3 lengths. Hard to beat again. WAITING SO LONG (5) followed a moderate fourth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, in an A4 at this track over 500m (30.08). Deserves another chance this class. BLUE STAR (2) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Failed to impress last start over 500m at this track when beaten 9 len (29.87) behind Bit View Kitty on June 28. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Last start finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 0.7 lengths (29.91) behind Tommys Image in an A5 on June 28. Yet to win but has been in the placings three times from this draw. Worth thought.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th on May 27 over 450m at Doncaster behind Trewmount Fury beaten 8 lengths (28.84) in a B2. Thereabouts at her last couple and is capable of better.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
