Best Bet: Keefill Rocky (T5, 5.01 Sheffield)
Next Best: Skywalker Amanda (T1, 5.57 Sheffield)
Treble: Untold Paanga (T1, 7.49 Crayford)
The BGBF British Bred Derby final is the highlight at Sheffield this afternoon and Keefill Rocky (T5) is given the nod in a tight race at 5.01.
One of three strong contenders for local trainer Phil Milner, this September '22 dog possesses bags of early speed and was an impressive winner in a first-round blitz, recording a speedy 28.72 clock. Sent off a warm favourite to follow up in the semi-finals, he couldn't quite get on the bunny and did well to qualify after suffering interference at the first turn. There will be no quarter given on the run-up again and he is given another chance to put matters right.
Skywalker Amanda (T1) was in a rich vein of form prior to a below-par run behind the useful Catunda Ciaran on 20 October. Barrie Draper's bitch has been rested since then and was entitled to need her comeback outing last week, when running out of steam in the latter stages. The make-up of the Owlerton Standard at 5.57 suggests that this pacey sort can take full advantage of a plum draw.
At Crayford in the Ladbrokes.com Winter Guys & Dolls 540 Trophy final at 7.49, Untold Paanga (T1) has reserved his best for this 540m of late and never looked in danger of defeat in the heats, as he blasted away for a commanding victory over Slick Sabo. The 33.50 (+20) he posted on that occasion sets the standard here and, if showing the same acceleration from the traps, he could repeat the dose.
