Swindon Bags Race 12

Race 12

Prize Money: $615

WESSEX MERLIN (1) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Scored by 2 lengths last time (29.01) in an A5 over 476m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. ALL LONG (3) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (28.62) in an A6 at this track. Can improve sharply here. CASTELL STORM (4) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 2.25 lengths last start at this track over 476m (28.88). Rises a grade but can measure up with repeat of latest. OUTBACK TESS (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 476m. Won't find this much harder. Right in the mix.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2.75 lengths in 28.62. Last start finished 5th in a OR on October 10 over 896m at this track behind Keepers Poppy beaten 8 lengths (57.05). Better than that and worth following up.

Comes off a (28.88) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in an A6 over 476m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and four minor placings from nine tries. One of the chances.

Below best last start when she finished last over 476m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (29.46) behind Cactus Tar in an A5 on October 15. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
