Perry Barr Bags Race 1 - Live From Birmingham - Isla's 18Th

DEVILGATE JOE (5) three runs back produced a convincing 28.69 win over 480m at this track then has found the minor money in two runs since. Rates on top and can find winning form again. HALCROW SALTIRE (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 3.5 lengths last start at this track over 480m (28.98). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. SUNSHINE ANNIE (3) shapes well after a fast run last time, finishing third in an A2 at this track in 28.82. Expecting another bold showing. HEADFORD BUCKO (2) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 0.8 lengths at this track over 480m (29.10). Up a notch here but latest effort enough to test this field.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing third (28.82) over 480m at this track. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
