Sheffield Bags Race 5 - Acomb Irene Retirement Stakes
ACOMB IRENE (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a D2 winner three back (16.21) at this track over 280m. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. BALLYMAC LAWLESS (1) has a strong overall record having 21 wins and 32 places from 70 starts including a last start third (29.28) over 500m at this track. Performs well off this trap. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. ROMEO ON POINT (6) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 5 and went on to finish third (29.57) at this track in an A2 over 500m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Winning chance. GROUCHOS CHAMP (5) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Regained form last time out at the second run back from a break when he found a couple better over 500m in an A2 at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A3 by 1.0 len at this track over 500m (29.39). Hard to recommend this time.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.
