Towcester Bags Race 2

Time Nutrition Sprint Trophy - Semi Final 2

Prize Money: $1,465

SHADOW STORM (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Towcester in a handy 15.60 beating BUBBLY CRUSADER. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. SLINGSHOT POPPY (4) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 3 lengths (15.16) at Towcester. Harder here but expected to feature again. BUBBLY CRUSADER (3) impressed when posting a scintillating 23.61 over 400m at Romford three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Has the ability and can find winning form again. DROOPYS WILL (1) game in defeat when in the minors last start in a dynamic 15.93. One of the chances.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 270m at Towcester. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.
