Sheffield Bags Race 1 - Dave Valentine Supports Macmillan

SWIFT STEP (5) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2.75 lengths away in third (29.56) at this track in an A4 over 500m. Has never been out of the placings from eight starts out of this box. Deserves serious consideration. BALLYMAC WHALER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 500m behind Ardrahan Aldante (30.04) in an A3. Was a winner the start prior. Can do much better this time. SMALL FUN (1) failed to threaten on debut finishing fourth (29.86) at this track over 500m. Can hit the frame this time. DA SAFETY NET (2) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.
