Swindon Bags Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $774

BALLYREGAN TARA (4) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 476m behind WESSEX MERLIN (32.43) in an A5. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and is a key runner. MOHICAN ANNA (2) stuck on well last time to finish 0.7 lengths back in third (29.11) at this track in a HCP over 476m. Winning chance. WESSEX MERLIN (1) box seated before sticking on well to finish 8 lengths away in second (29.57) at this track in an A5 over 476m. Bold showing expected. SAKA CRACKER (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 476m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 0.7 lengths third (29.11) over 476m at this track last time. Should prove hard to beat.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 476m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 5th over 476m at this track beaten 46 lengths (32.43) behind Wessex Merlin in an A5 on June 23. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Last start finished last over 476m at this track beaten 8 lengths (29.40) behind Outback Fido in an A5 on July 4. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
