Sheffield Bags Race 8

Bgbf British Bred Derby Semi Final 1

Stake: $2,041

KEEFILL ROCKY (5) could not have been more impressive last start in his lightning 28.72 win at this track over 500m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ACOMB FELIX (2) boasts a strong record this course with 17 wins and 23 minors from 49 tries. Hit the frame latest (29.08) when second at this track in a OR1. Makes strong appeal on best. ROMEO STEEL (1) is a talented type who notched his 11th career success when too good (28.88) at this track last time. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can continue on his winning ways. ACOMB JOHNNY (3) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 500m at this track in 29.08. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 1.3 lengths, last start in a OR1 at this track over 500m (29.34). Sure to play a big role.

Followed a modest sixth first up at Nottingham two starts ago with a solid second last time, beaten 12 lengths in a OR1 at this track over 500m (29.75). Facing a difficult assignment.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored three on the run. Was a class above latest with a 28.72 success over 500m at this track. Flying lately and can score again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in a OR1 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.
