Towcester Bags Race 1

Towcester Wednesday 18Th February 2026 Morning Pgr Meeting

Prize Money: $646

SPORTING BOOGIE (3) comes here off a placing in slick time (15.99) over 270m at this track. Can measure up if runs up to latest time. SKILLED PRINCE (1) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 8 lengths away in fifth (16.45). Was in the money the start prior. One of the main contenders. FABULOUS VALERIA (6) was in the minors two back (16.06) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Cannot be taken lightly. ROMEO NEO (4) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last in a D2 on February 11 over 270m at this track behind Curly Sean beaten 8 lengths (16.45). Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (30.05) at this track over 500m. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in a D2 at this track over 270m (15.99). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.
