Sheffield Race Fields - 12th Jan 2025

PEAR DROPS (trap 4) should only require nominal good fortune to go about her business and get the job done in this company. Distant Puma (trap 3) can be expected to give a good account and he could be hunting up the tip late on. Old Fort Jukebox (trap 5) probably needs to stamp his authority early to have a realistic chance.

It's not hard being drawn towards GOOD SOPHIA (trap 5) here, in the expectation she enjoys a hassle-free passage and proves too good when it matters. Lightfoot Cherry (trap 1) regularly attracts a large share of the market and it's with good reason. Purmac Kelly (trap 2) is well worth a second look and could make the placings.

INNFIELD STORM (trap 2) is the one that catches the eye and hopes will be high of a winning run if she enjoys the rub of the green on the track. Distant Hiker (trap 1) has a fair early spurt and won't be easily rubbed out if allowed sizeable rope. Acomb Irene (trap 5) would be a player if getting a run. The others are pretty hard to fancy.

ACOMB FELIX (trap 2) is one of the better bets at the meeting and there will be many prepared to have a dabble providing his odds aren't strangled. Trinity Brett (trap 4) has a shout timewise and should certainly be amongst the medals. Distant Rover (trap 1) is not usually offered up at decent odds.

MYSTERIOUS FLOW (trap 2) can often attract the lion's share of the market and the same can be expected here as she looks like being a roaring success! Money Partner (trap 6) has a decent sized fan club and the cash may come his way again. Ballymac Lawless (trap 1) has been using up plenty of bookie's chalk and is in with a shout.

There's no substitute for the feeling of victory and UNIQUE ONE (trap 4) may well add to it now the confidence is high. It's hard not to include Famous Star (trap 3), who is entitled to play a part in the finish. Dixies Majestic (trap 6) should pay his way in the coming weeks and can get involved.

The strike rate of SLIPPY DANIEL (trap 5) from this box location is very good and this looks another winnable opportunity. Slippy Vickey (trap 4) can show sizzling early speed and would rate the chief threat with a ping break. This is a weaker race for Fearmore Trigger (trap 2) and he can get amongst them.

It will be something of a let down if MAC (trap 1) isn't highly competitive when it matters and, in fact, he gets the nod to oblige. Blastoff Mcbally (trap 3) has a strong following here and looks the obvious link for forecast money. Choctaw Willow (trap 4) has obvious chances of making the frame and should be respected accordingly.
