Towcester Bags Race 1

Towcester Sunday 12Th April Afternoon PGR Meeting

Prize Money: $856

SALACRES TIPSTER (2) followed a moderate fifth at this track two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in an A2 at this track over 500m (29.71). Drops a class and gets chance to return to form this time. ESSJAY SONIA (5) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten half a length into second (43.63) at this track in a OR over 712m. Yet to miss the placings from five starts out of this box. Expected to be in this for a long way. SALACRES PRODIGY (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 29.46 beating Salacres Machine. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. One of the prime contenders. SPIRIDON ZELUS (6) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 712m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 3 length fourth (29.71) at this track. Has scored seven times from this draw. Key runner.

Disappointed last start over 500m at this track when beaten 2.5 len (29.66) behind Salacres Prodigy on April 7. Better off looking to others.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A3 by nose at this track over 500m (29.46). This appears within his reach.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a half a length second (43.63) over 712m at this track last time. Looks a strong winning hope.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow sixth (29.55) over 500m at this track. Leading chance on best form.
