Towcester Sunday 19Th April 2026 Afternoon PGR Meeting

Prize Money: $837

MAKEIT POPPY (1) finished third two starts back before missing the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (29.56). Better than recent form and in easier grade expected to atone. UNLIKELY BARRY (2) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 3 lengths over 500m this track in 29.72. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in the finish again. SPIRIDON ZELUS (6) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 500m behind Essjay Sonia (29.68) in an A3. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. FABULOUS RAKIYA (4) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (29.43). This easier so don't rule her out.

Followed an unplaced run at this track two starts ago with a sound second, beaten half a length, last start in an A4 at this track over 500m (29.60). This looks too tough.

Charged out of the boxes with a sizzling early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (29.43) at this track over 500m. Should be around the mark.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth this track in 29.82. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
