Towcester Bags Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $978

DUNBOLG FORMULA (3) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (29.30) last time at Dunstall Park. Form here at this distance is sound. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Can make amends. ESSJAY ROBIN (4) has a strong overall record having five wins and 11 places from 22 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (43.63) over 712m at this track. Solid record here winning three races. Rates a winning chance on best. KATES DREAM (5) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 500m at this track, taking an A2 in a brilliant 29.45. Top win two back and can measure up again. KNOCKARD JOE (6) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at Dunstall Park (29.30) in a OR, beaten 12 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and five minor placings from 11 tries. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Below his best last time over 712m at this track (43.63) in a OR, finishing 11 lengths away in fourth. Has never missed the placings in five starts here at the trip, including two wins. Has ability and should feature.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A2 by 2.5 len at this track over 500m (29.27). Looks a solid hope.
