Towcester Bags Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $773

WESSEX MERLIN (3) jumped from this trap last time and placed in an A8 at this track over 500m, finishing second (30.64). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including two wins and 17 placings from 23 starts. Has the ability and expected to go close. UNKNOWN TULIP (2) followed a moderate sixth at Swindon two runs ago with another plain effort last time to finish sixth, beaten 8 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.94). Suited here and looks a leading player on best. CONFEY STORY (5) doesn't win out of turn. Finished third (30.92) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from five attempts. Expected to feature again. SCOOBY GDYNIA (1) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional and gave a sight but found one better when runner up at this track clocking 30.69. Capable of a good showing.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at Swindon, before a neck second (30.64) over 500m at this track last time. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Salacres Athena in an A8. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Among the chances with the right run.
