Towcester Bags Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $709

CHELMS JACOB (6) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning an A5 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Has the ability and expected to go close. VINEGARHILL LUNA (4) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (30.11), making it three straight minors. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BALLYCLEARYLINKS (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 4 length third (29.77) in an A5 at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Well-placed to take this out. VINEGARHILL BLUE (5) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Charged out of the boxes with a hot early sectional but gathered in and finished third (29.77) at this track over 500m. This appears within his reach.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 712m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Right in this.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (29.90) over 500m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
