Towcester Bags Race 4

270Mtrs (D4)

Prize Money: $626

CLAY GOUVNER (2) drew the inside trap and won last time at this track and distance (16.59) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 1.3 lengths. HOLLOW TALK (6) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (16.75) at this track in a D4. Expected to do much better this time. MANX STORM (1) will break from the inside trap. Latest effort finished last on April 30 over 270m at this track behind Westfield Alba beaten 6 lengths (16.66) in a D4. Looks one of the chances. SWIFT KIRSTY (5) is super consistent overall, having placed 19 of 36 career runs. Finished in the money last time though when third (16.67) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Can find winning form.

Last start finished last over 270m at this track beaten 6 lengths (16.66) behind Westfield Alba in a D4 on April 30. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in a D4 by 1.3 len at this track over 270m (16.59). Can't recommend in this field.

Has been in great form, scoring two in a row before finishing second (30.28) last time at Mullingar over 520m. Happy enough to avoid.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into third over 270m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.
