Perry Barr Bags Race 8

Thought It Was A 1 Year Trial Marriage And Here We Are 11 Years Later!

Stake: $908

DEVILGATE JOE (4) could manage only second at this track last time but caught the eye when clocking a superb 28.69 over 480m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and expected to go close again. CASEYS BARBRA (5) is in top form lately including a powerful win at this track in 28.75 two back then backing it up with a 28.82 victory at this track over 480m latest. Should be in this for a long way. MERCIA SAXON (1) is a talented dog who is a winner of 11 races but missed the frame last time when fifth at this track (28.95). Solid record here at this trip including 10 wins. Key runner on best form. DE GIRL SOOTIE (3) clocked a flying 28.81 win last time. Not to be underestimated.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (28.95) at this track over 480m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by 1.75 len at this track over 480m (28.81). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Placed three back but has won two runs since, the latest an A3 in 28.82 over 480m at this track. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
