Towcester Bags Race 1

270Mtrs (D3)

Prize Money: $640

SALACRES MERKEL (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (29.97) at this track over 500m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Well placed and gets her chance. TRAPSTYLE TOUCAN (2) ran below best last time finishing fourth (16.36) over 270m at this track in a D2. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MAKEIT MAGICAL (6) turned in a solid run last start over 270m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (16.49). Should be thereabouts. SAVANA RUAPEHU (5) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by 1.75 lengths at this track over 270m (16.60). Goes up a notch but can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 270m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Not keen, needs to lift.
