Sheffield Bags Race 12

The Night Continues @ Napoleons Casino Stakes

Stake: $673

ISLAND MAGS (3) was out of the placings when fifth last time but prior to that produced a brilliant 16.15 win over 280m at this track. Looks the one to beat on win two back. RACE FOR AVA (4) got around 280m in a strong 16.27 when winning a D2 at this track last start. Expecting another bold showing. DOONEEN ALFIE (1) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same trap when a 2.5 lengths third (16.33) in a D2 at this track. Has the ability and can measure up. CATUNDA SNIPER (6) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (16.33) over 280m at this track. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by one length in 16.15. Last start finished last over 280m at this track beaten 7 lengths (16.70) behind Idas Spider in a D2 on August 7. Better than that and worth following up.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to score in a D2 by 2.25 len at this track over 280m (16.27). Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 280m at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.
