Swindon Bags Race 2

Race 2

Prize Money: $599

YOUARETHEREASON (3) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 262m at this track in 15.32. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. DUPALIGHT BOY (6) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 262m at this track, taking a D3 in a superb 15.48. Top win two back and rates a key player again. OODE LALLY (2) comes off a big run when second in a speedy 28.58 at this track over 476m. Has the ability and can measure up. BALLYMAC KOLBE (5) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing nine from 17 starts. Finished second (15.55) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Has a good record at this journey. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Must come into calculations.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 262m at this track in 15.59 behind Vanessas Melody. This appears within his reach.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 476m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when sixth and beaten 11 lengths (16.08) in a D1 over 262m at this track. Pay to follow up.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 262m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.
