Best Bets: Tuesday 8 October

Ballymoney Skye (Trap 2) - 18:55 Sheffield 

The Sheffield Maiden at 18.55 features a pair operating at the top of their games in the shape of Ballymoney Skye (Trap 2) and Shestheonlyone, with the former narrowly earning the vote. The daughter of Kinloch Brae was impressive when landing A2-A1 affairs in August and, in truth had little go right on her latest start. This race may well be decided at the boxes and if poaching an early lead she ought to be difficult to dislodge.

Sonic Stormi (Trap 2) - 19:26 Sheffield     

Sonic Stormi (Trap 2, 19.26) is yet to open his account at Owlerton but very much caught the eye and dropped the hint his turn is imminent when runner-up in a 480-metre open 2 weeks ago, set to challenge when hitting the rails at the fourth bend. Only beaten a length, the return to 500 metres will hold no fears and he can capitalise on the return to graded company.

Coney Kuccini (Trap 2) - 19:57 Sheffield

Coney Kuccini (Trap 2, 19.57) has faced some stiff tasks either side of his C&D success early last month yet his consistency has been hard to knock and from what could prove a good make-up in blue, the son of Makeshift is fancied to strike. A solid performer on home soil, he’s 3-5 when operating from this box and is expected to play a lead role.
