Swindon Bags Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $657

FLICKERING BELLE (2) goes very well over this track and trip including two wins. Recorded a 2 length win (29.18) in an A6 last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. ARDRALLA DAISY (5) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 476m (29.17). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BLACK SCORPION (4) last start finished 2nd in an A5 on September 27 over 476m at this track behind Ballymac Dashel beaten 3.5 lengths (29.15). Rates a key chance on best figures. HIYA JIMAL (3) form at this course and distance reads well.

Overdue for a win recording three minors on end, the latest sizzling early but finishing in the minors again at this track, clocking 29.33. Looks tested in this company.

Scored by 2 lengths last time (29.18) in an A6 over 476m at this track. Goes very well at this track and trip, including two wins. Appeals greatly.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (29.32) at this track over 476m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 476m (29.15). Not to be underestimated.

Comments

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (29.17) over 476m at this track. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row. Deserves another chance.
