Towcester Bags Race 12

PricedUp.Bet Derby Plate - Heat 3

Prize Money: $1,465

BALLYMAC KOBE (3) stalked the lead from the inside draw then burst clear to score (28.90) at Towcester in OR over 500m. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. BUBBLY CHARGER (5) flew the lids from trap five with a sensational turn of foot before finishing second (28.95) and beaten half a length over 500m at Towcester. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. DEREKS LEGEND (2) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. Below best last time at Towcester (29.53) in a OR1, finishing a 17 length fifth. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. DROOPYS TRADE (4) followed a unplaced effort at Towcester two back with a sound second, beaten 3 lengths, last start in a OR at Towcester over 500m (29.25). Capable of finding winning form this easier class.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (28.99) at Towcester over 500m. Tested under these conditions.

Was out of the placings last time over 500m at Towcester (29.53) in a OR1, beaten 17 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with two wins and two minor placings from five tries. Can feature with the right run.

Showed scorching pace early but found one better when beaten 3 lengths over 500m Towcester in 29.25. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Comments

Flew the lids with a hot pace early and hit the frame with a half a length second (28.95) at Towcester, making it two placings on end. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 503m at Shelbourne Park. May find this a bit too tough.
