Towcester Bags Race 1

Towcester Thursday 28Th May 2026 Afternoon PGR Meeting

Prize Money: $681

SALACRES SYDNEY (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 270m (16.68). Has ability and can bounce back. DIRECT LUKE (3) recorded a 1.75 lengths third in a D4 last time 16.63 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but expected to feature again. BALLYQUINSHELDON (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 16.72 beating SWIFT ONE. Should feature again. CHOICES BRONTE (2) is very honest and looms as a strong winning hope again.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in a D4 by 0.5 len at this track over 270m (16.72). Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 270m. No easier here and likely to struggle.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Fair last time over 500m at Hove where she raced on speed but faded to finish second (31.20). Should be much improved on the experience. Not keen this time.
