Sheffield Bags Race 7

Race 7

Stake: $864

ESME LADY (3) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 500m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. ACOMB BRONTE (6) has a terrific record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from six starts. In the money last time at this track (29.70) in an A3, finishing a long neck third. Makes strong appeal on best. SLIPPY PATSY (5) is in form and worth thought again. NO SMALL TALK (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A4 by 1.3 len at this track over 500m (29.46). Likely to struggle this time.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A3 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing third (29.70) last time at this track over 500m. Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time with the minor placing. Expected to feature again.
