Towcester Bags Race 3

500Mtrs (Or1)

Prize Money: $1,002

BACK TO BLACK (6) jumped from this trap last time and placed in an A1 at Great Yarmouth over 462m, finishing third (27.93). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including eight wins and 11 placings from 26 starts. Should be in this for a long way. SOUL CHOICE (1) followed a placing two back with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start in a OR at Hove over 500m (29.68) and looks overdue for a win. Should enjoy this easier assignment. Expected to feature. BANK OF GRANDA (4) is an honest type rarely out of the money, scoring at this track (29.53) last time and making it two straight wins. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. DROOPYS MAXIMUS (2) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

In the money at Hove at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in a OR by 0.8 len at Monmore over 630m (37.80). The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.

Charged out of the boxes last time with a scorching early split and led all the way for a 2.5 lengths win (29.53) at this track. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Finished third last start over 462m at Great Yarmouth behind Moaning Rossi in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Should be right in the finish.
