Towcester Bags Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $959

ROMEO TRIBUTE (4) was prominent early from trap 5 and did a fair job to be beaten 2.5 lengths into third (43.81) at this track in a OR over 712m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can measure up this time. UNLIKELY BARRY (1) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (29.84) behind Slippy Des at this track. Expected to feature. GLENCOE QUEEN (3) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 2 lengths (46.46) behind Borna Parachute at Suffolk Downs. The form out of her last race has been franked. Bold showing expected. ESSJAY SONIA (6) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing third (29.84) over 500m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 712m in a OR at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in a S2 by 5.5 len at this track over 712m (43.58). Other runners look much more appealing.
