Towcester Bags. Race 8

500Mtrs (A5)

Prize Money: $549

SALACRES ELLIE (6) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, winding up to place two back then finishing on strongly last time when second (30.05) in an A5 at this track. Form here sound including seven wins. Likely to be in the finish again. SALACRES MERKEL (1) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (16.61), beaten 3.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has winning claims on her best figures. BURROW HYUNDI (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 0.8 lengths last start at this track over 500m (30.11). Levels up but can win again with the confidence restored. VINEGARHILL BELL (4) picked up a cheque over this course and distance most recently - in the mix again.

Not seen at best last start when she finished last in an A5 on January 28 over 500m at this track behind Fifthavenu Posh beaten 7 lengths (30.50). Better off looking to others.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 500m (30.05). Decent recent form so demands respect.
