Towcester Bags Race 8

500Mtrs (Or1)

Prize Money: $1,253

BOCKOS DIAMOND (6) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (28.92) at this track over 500m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning claims. BALLYMAC BLANCO (1) is better than last start when fourth (29.75) from Box 4 at this track over 500m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. WICKY NED (2) goes very well here including two wins. Was out of placings last time (29.28) at this track in a IV, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. DROOPYS EXTRAGUD (3) used the inside draw to advantage to get the prize last time at Hove over 515m (30.30), scoring by a neck. Rates a leading chance again.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 500m at this track (29.54) in a OR. Good strike-rate here at this journey with seven wins from nine starts. Looks one of the chances.
