Towcester Bags Race 1

Towcester Saturday 8th August 2026 Afternoon Pgr Meeting

Prize Money: $872

WESTWIND RON (3) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if he can recapture his strong win a few runs back, getting around this track over 500m in 29.49. Can measure up on top win three back. FEATHERS MCGRAW (2) was a (27.30) winner last time out at this track from Box 2. Comes through a solid form race last start. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. DE NEXT TIME (1) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 2 lengths away in third (27.19) at this track in a B2 over 460m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading player again. FLITWICK DEL BOY (5) was out of the money two runs back then improved sharply last time to score at this track over 460m (27.25). Faces tougher but hard to fault latest and worth including.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into third over 460m at this track. Sure to be in the mix again.

Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (27.30) in a B2 last time over 460m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with two wins and two minor placings from five tries. Appeals greatly.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (29.77) over 500m at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in a B3 by 0.5 len at this track over 460m (27.25). Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
