Prize Money: $1,181

BALLYMAC KOBE (2) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length second (29.07) over 500m at Towcester. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning claims. SLIPPERY BRIAN (5) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Towcester in a handy 28.62 beating Goldcash Warrior. One of the leading chances again. LOXLEYS FOREST (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that produced a solid 39.46 win over 660m at Sheffield. Top win two back and rates a key player again. TEEJAYS CHELMS (4) profiles nicely over this trip.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing second (29.95) last time at Nottingham over 500m. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.

Filled a minor placing last time over 500m (29.07) at Towcester in a OR, beaten 3 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with five wins and four placings from 11 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Missed the frame three back but has since scored back to back wins, the latest a OR at Towcester (28.62). Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
